Volunteers

We need thousands of volunteers to help make the inaugural Canton Marathon a success and establish it as the next big athletic event in Stark County.

Everyone is welcome to help - whether you are a runner or have no experience with marathons. What matters is being willing to give any amount of time that you can spare to help make this event even more of a success.
Minimum Age:  11 on Race Day

Individuals or Families

If you can spare a little, some, or a lot of time -- help us make the Canton Marathon another success.

If you belong to an organization that can work as a team, help us on special projects throughout the year, during the final pre-race preparation, on race day and post race as well.
