    On June 17th, 2018, Our Lord, who art in Heaven, received the greatest Father’s Day gift of all time. This world lost a best friend, co-pilot, treasure hunter, adventurer, partner-in-crime, artist, hero, cancer-fighter and all around rock-star kid. Christian James Albain, 10, of Toledo, OH, passed away in the arms of his loving parents after a valiant battle with leukemia at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, OH. He was born August 23, 2007 in Toledo, OH to Christopher Albain and Brittney Styer. Christian came into this world with a natural kindness and the ability to make friends with everyone he met. He loved his family, above all else, and will always be idolized by his siblings, cousins and numerous other family and friends. Christian’s superpower was having a heart big enough to fit everyone he knew. Christian will always be our "Little Hero" and this annual memorial event will be held to forever honor Christian's life.

    April 18 Race Day 8 AM-8:45 am

    The Florence Scott Libbey 419 Race celebrates Toledo history and the icons who helped make T- Town great! Florence Scott Libbey, along with her husband Edward Drummond Libbey, founded the Toledo Museum of Art. Together, their legacy continues on today.

    Florence Scott was the daughter, and heiress, of the wealthy Maurice and Mary Jane (Tallant) Scott, and the granddaughter of Jesup Scott, founder of the University of Toledo.

    Florence married Edward Libbey in 1890, two years after he arrived in Toledo to relocate his glass company. In 1895 the Libbey's built their home in Toledo's fashionable Old West End Neighborhood, at 2008 Scottwood Avenue. In 1912 The Toledo Museum of Art was built on land donated by the Libbey's. In fact, Florence and Edward married at that location, in June of 1990, at the mansion of Maurice and Mary Brown Scott.

    Following Edward Libbey's death in 1925, Mrs Libbey remained an active contributor in her own right to Toledo culture. In the midst of the Great Depression, Mrs Libbey funded the Peristyle Theater (1933) providing jobs for over 2,000 folks. Today the Toledo Museum of Art is free to all and regularly earns top state and national recognition. The Libbey home at 2008 Scottwood is managed by The Libbey House Foundation and is listed as a National Historic Landmark.

    Florence, Edward Libbey, and their infant son William, are buried in Toledo's Historic Woodlawn Cemetery & Arboretum along with many other Toledo greats.

    STAY TUNED!

    419 Week is full of fun and diverse events brought to you by local organizations and small businesses. Marathon Month starts with The Crazy Long Training Run, leading to Florence's 5K and ends with Mercy Health Glass City Marathon Weekend!
