The Glass City marathon was my first half marathon. I remember it well. 13.1 miles seemed the farthest distance EVER to run!! Times sure have changed, but one thing is for sure, the Glass City Marathon is always a memorable event.
Whether 2017 would be your first Glass City, or your 15th, I’m sure you will agree with me that Toledo loves it’s runners, and loves this event. Here are some throw back pictures from my first Glass City half marathon in 2010. My husband ran with me and took these pictures…

Let me know…
Q: If you won a free bib, what event would you choose?
Q: Have you ever run GCM?
I would probably choose the Half Marathon even though the Full sounds better. My spring schedule already has 2 Marathons, but then again if my body is healthy then I would just go for it!
Because of seeing you last year, I was inspired to run the relay as a family in 2017! Will we see you in Boston again?
I’m on the 5 year plan for Boston, which means I’ll do it every 5 years until I no longer qualify! We might do the family team relay in Detroit next fall, its great getting the kids out there and it gives them something to work towards.
My goal before 40 is the half, but I’m not there yet so I’d love to do the 5k!
But it would be soooo tempting to sign up for the half if it was free, right?? 😉 Good luck!
Half. In a few years full.
Do the full. Peer pressure. Haha! 😉 Good luck!
Ha ha! I’m pretty sure in about 4 years you can pressure me into one 😉.
Glass City Half! This will be my third half and my second Glass City. Thanks for the chance!! 🙂
Great! Good luck Emily!
I would run the half. I was so excited to do churchills this year, but just could not get ready after having a baby end of August. My house in on the course and I watched from the window and it was so sad to not be out there (I ran it the past 2 years).
So I am excited for GCM. I ran it for the first time last year and really liked it.
I would be “Quit racing in front of me!!!!” Haha! Glad to have you back at GCM, good luck!
GCM 2017 will be my 3rd full marathon…and my 3rd consecutive GCM.
Awesome! You already know it’s a great race :). Good luck!
I would run the half. I ran my first half here in 2014 and ran the relay in 2015. Would love to do it again!
It’s a great race for your first! Good luck!!
I think I could be talked into the full again!!
That’s what I like, getting the max value out of it!! 🙂 🙂 Good luck!!
I haven’t decided if I won a free bib if I would do the half marathon, or if I would bite the bullet and try to do the full marathon. I started running about 9 months ago, and completed 4 half marathons since then!
I ran the half at GCM in April 2016…my first one ever! And I became totally hooked, yet I’m not sure WHY. 🙂 Since April, I’ve completed the Boy Scout Half in BG, the Detroit International Half, and then the Churchill’s Half this past weekend….and I got a new PR!
That’s great!! Congrats on that PR too. Maybe it’s a sign? Good luck!
I would like to run the full marathon. This will be my first ever full!
Awesome!! We love first timers!
My goal is to run the half again this spring. I ran it in 2014 and 2015, but was sidelined by acomplete ACL tear in 2016. Nothing pained me more than driving past the course the day before the race knowing I wasn’t going to be able to run! I’m back to running and slowly building my strength and pace. GC Half will be the crowning moment of my recovery!
That is the worst – seeing runners everywhere!! Glad you are back at it again! Good luck!
I would choose the full marathon- it will be my FIRST full!! 🙂
Excellent!! Good luck!
If I won a free bin I would register to do my FIRST marathon. Last year I ran the 5 person relay
Fingers crossed for you!!!
Hahahah your angry face is too funny! In the moment you weren’t laughing, but I bet you get a chuckle out of it now! 😀
Me: “I see the finish area. Don’t we just turn down this street here??”
Alan: “no. You still have over a half mile to go!”
Me: “WTF! Are you kidding me!?!”
Ha!! Definitely not funny then, but hilarious now 🙂
I would do the half. It’s been a few years since I ran it and I think I’m ready to again.
Absolutely! Good luck!!
This will be my first half marathon
It’s a great first half. Clearly! 🙂 Good luck!
Entered! If I don’t win, I’m going to refuse to do laundry at home!
As much as I’d like to insure happiness in my house, all winners are chosen randomly by Rafflecopter! 😉 Good luck!!!!
I ran GCM for my first full in 2014! I’ve been registered to run the full for the past 2 years as well, but sadly stress fractures both years kept me out. Hoping 2017 is my year!!
Oh man!! I really hope 2017 is your year. That is a frustrating injury. Stay strong!!
I would run the Glass City half marathon. I have never ran it but I did go to college at UT.
I’m a UT graduate too! Twice!! Good luck!
Awesome! Thanks for the opportunity…AGAIN this year! I ran the full last year and had a blast. It was a toughie for me…it was my second full but the first time I ever experienced the dreaded wall!! I hit it hard at mile 20…but pushed on through. Can’t wait to run it again in the spring!
Wall at 20? Read my GCM race recap! I know that well 🙂 Here’s to both of us pushing through it!! Good luck!
I would seriously look at the half, just haven’t committed yet. I just ran my first half a month ago and was blessed to have the run community supporting me. Joined Dave’s MIT program and had a great time training.
Dave’s MIT is a great training group!! A free entry would definitely get me to commit :). Good luck!!
I would choose the half! GCM 2016 was suppose to be my first half! I trained all winter and 2 weeks before the race I was sidelined with a stress fracture:( I am coming back in 2017!! Can’t wait!!!
Ah yes, the cursed stress fracture!! Ugh. That stinks. 2017 is your comeback year!! Good luck!
Knowing me it would be hard to turn down a full entry but I may have to drop to the 1/2 since Canton is the following weekend.
I know… hard to saw No to a free marathon!! My crazy husband wants it to be a trifecta month with Boston, Glass City, and then Canton!! (and then months of PT. Haha!) Good luck!
Going through PT now. One reason you saw me at a water stop this weekend and not on the road 🙁
I’d love to win an entry for the Full Marathon. Thank for this giveaway!
Have a lovely day,
Cheers
Hope you day goes well too! Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
I would love to run the 1/2. It would be my first and being a Toledo native I couldn’t imagine running any other race for my first time.
I’m sure my pictures tell the story – it’s a great race for a first! Even if you don’t get offered a beer from the college kids. 😉 Good luck!!
Looking forward to doing the half, have done the full GC three times. I agree all psyched you’re almost at the end and then the run through the parking lots! Lol
Torture to see it so close, but yet so far!! 😉 Good luck!
would love to try the full again…
Good luck !!
