“Don't think too much about running. Don't try too hard to correct your gait. Your biomechanics are often set. Try to be relaxed and graceful, and over time you will become an efficient runner and find your natural stride." From the book The Athletes Way: Sweat and the Biology of Bliss by Christopher Bergland. | ||||||||

Seems that few things have stayed the same price for more than a few months, let alone several years, but the Nationwide Better Health Columbus Marathon & 1/2 Marathon is one of them! For 2010 we are offering the same price as 2009, and 2008, and, oh by the way, 2007! Through the end of July the full marathon is priced at $65, while the ½ marathon will only cost $50! With some great changes and improvements planned for our 31st running on October 17, you¹d be hard-pressed to find a better value for your fitness dollar! Register 
The best way to start something new is with a party, right? We think that would be a great way for you to kick off your training for the 2010 Nationwide Better Health Columbus Marathon & 1/2 Marathon! We're looking at July - stay tuned for details!

We¹re extremely proud of the fact that countless runners have qualified for the Boston Marathon in Columbus. In fact, we have more qualifiers each year than any other Ohio marathon, and we are in the top 10 nationally for total number of qualifiers!
