Wheelchair Racers
The Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon is one of the nation's top chair racing marathons, constantly drawing exciting races. Wheelchair athletes are an important part of the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon, and we offer prize money for participants in this division; however, due to safety concerns, handcycles are no longer permitted in the event. The Wheelchair Division of the marathon will offer disabled athletes the opportunity to compete along the same challenging (yet fast and flat!) route as the other marathon divisions. Following are the winners of the 2011 Nationwide Insurance Marathon:
- Chad Johnson, Charlestown, IN 1:47:14
- Jeff Fisher, Medina, OH 2:29
Race Information
The race will begin promptly at 7:27 am.
A bike escort will accompany wheelchair racers.
