Get Involved

Volunteer

The Classic City Marathon will only be possible because of incredible volunteers. There are opportunities to serve on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Fill out our volunteer form to get started.

Be a Pacer

Are you looking to run a marathon in a new way? Become a Classic City Marathon pacer! These awesome individuals will guide runners through the course with time requirements. In order to be considered for a pacing position, you must submit a recent marathon result or share your Strava profile with the committee.

Host a Water Station

If you want to make a tangible impact on our runners, consider hosting a water station. As the station host, we ask that you provide the table and space. We’ll provide you with the water, cups, and necessary nutrition.

Host a Cheer Section

Be the life of the party by hosting a cheer section. Cheer sections are about supplying energy and good vibes to our runners and the community. You can create signs, have a costume party, or even host a tailgate. We’ll have a prize for the most spirited cheer section, and you might start a new Athens tradition. So go on, dust off those cowbells…

Sponsor

Sponsorship opportunities are available for individuals and businesses that want to promote their brand in connection to the Classic City Marathon. For more information, check out our sponsorship guide.

Make a Gift

Donations are always a much-appreciated form of support for the Classic City Marathon. Our organization is also a 503(c) nonprofit, which means your donation is tax-deductible. Gifts can be made electronically through the Athens Road Runners page.

SHARE THE CLASSIC CITY.
