According to Garmin, the Garmin Marathon Series Garmin Marathon series of Garmin is owned and produced from start to finish. From the fall, Garmin will host events in Toledo, Ohio and Tucson, Arizona respectively, September 21 and November 15.
The event promises four race distances and a celebration of all things Garmin. There will be a two-day tech expo showing the best Garmin watches and other technology at the forefront of the event; These exposures will be open to the public and will include racial equipment with limited edition and meet and greet Garmin athletes.
The races will include an USATF certified and Boston Marathon qualifying full marathon, USATF-certified half marathon, 10k and 5K in each city.
After the event, a target line festival (also open to the public) will include local food, live entertainment and other activities.
Garmin Marathon Series
Garmin says that locations for 2025 were chosen on the basis of existing races and event plans, local driving communities, local and cultural highlights around the course and favorable weather conditions.
You can already sign up for all racial distances in Toledo and Tucson on the Garmin Website.
Susan Lyman, Garmin’s Vice President, Consumer Sales and Marketing, said the event was “an opportunity to go beyond conventional sponsorships and create something really special in our running community.”
While the event sure to be a festival with the best running watches and like the Garmin Forerunner series, lured by racing editions with limited edition is also sure to be a draw. Garmin has not confirmed if this will include any special devices or limited -edition smartwatches, but we don’t have long to wait and find out.
Let’s hope it does a better job with this than it did the Garmin Connect+ subscription.
