Size Matters

If not planned for correctly, an event of the scale of the Nationwide Better Health Columbus Marathon can put undue stress and strain on a community as well as on the field of participants. Our entrant levels for 2009 will enable us to put on the best event we can and help you maximize your level of enjoyment! Here is what we have planned:

5,000 - Marathon
9,000 - 1/2 Marathon
1,000 - Corporate Wellness category for Marathon, 1/2 Marathon or 5K. Remember, we have sold out the past three years, so register TODAY!
