Garmin Marathon Announcement
Description
The Durham Sports Commission has announced a major win for North Carolina’s running community — the Garmin Marathon is officially coming to Durham next year. This premier race isn’t just another local event; it’s a certified qualifier for the Boston Marathon, drawing elite athletes and recreational runners alike.
Host Tony Riggsbee sits down with Marcus Manning, Executive Director of the Durham Sports Commission, and Steve Lovell, Associate Director of Advertising and Sponsorship for the Garmin Marathon, to discuss what bringing this marquee event to Durham means for the city, local businesses, and active residents across the state.
They dive into the course, community impact, and how runners can get involved — whether you’re chasing a Boston time or just ready to lace up and take part in history.
