"It makes me proud" | Runners inspire at 2024 Glass City Marathon

The 47th annual Glass City Marathon began warm and muggy as thousands of runners stood ready to begin the race.

And as the sound of a bullhorn filled the air, they were off.

Surrounding the course, friends and family waited in anticipation to cheer on their runner.

While the marathon and half-marathon began at 6:30 a.m., the rest of the day still had a 5-person relay, a 5K walk and run as well as a kids marathon.

According to the race director Clint McCormick, over seven thousand people signed up to participate in the day’s races, and the Glass Bowl quickly became more and more crowded as the hours passed.
