Lace up your running shoes and get ready to experience world-class racing at the Akron Marathon Race Series. You can choose to run the whole marathon, a half marathon or be part of a team relay. The path winds through many diverse neighborhoods and past historical landmarks. This USATF sanctioned course may even qualify you for the Boston Marathon.
The Matinee was started in Akron’s Highland Square historic area in the fall of 2006. It was opened by Mario Nemr (and pals), the long time resident DJ at Akron’s infamous alternative nightclub, Thursday's Lounge. The Matinee became an instant hit within the local Akron music scene. Local and national bands are attracted to its warm atmosphere, small stage, and a great sound system. In addition, an excellent beer and wine list made it a welcoming spot for just about any person who enjoys the nightlife.
