Where we started

Race bibs are our first language

Ken Zirk founded Marathon in 1989 after twenty years making race numbers, starting out in his garage. We now ship custom and stock bibs, tear-tags and race accessories worldwide — for the Los Angeles, Chicago and New York marathons, and for events of every size.
