Elms & Akron Marathon

  Heads up Panther Pride!  Time to dust off your running shoes, load up on pasta, and hit the pavement!  The Akron Marathon is on September 24th and Our Lady of the Elms is fielding a team!

Panther faithful are challenged to raise $5,000 for the Elms Alumnae Scholarship Fund, providing tuition assistance to deserving girls and their families from Northeastern Ohio.

  

No plaid skirt required!  Don’t worry if you never learned the Panther Shuffle, you don’t need to be an Elms Girl to join the fun.  Friends, cousins, partners, parents, Dominican Sisters of Peace are all welcome! 

  

Can’t commit to 26.2 miles?  The Akron Marathon also has a half-marathon, as well as relay race options, so get a team together and get moving!

  

Not a runner?  Let your money do the running!  Donations of any size encourage our runners and bolster a worthy cause.  Visit  www.active.com/donate/ElmsAlumnae to make a donation online.

 

For more information about the race and registration visit the Akron Marathon website.  To join the team
