LATEST INFORMATION
2021 Registration Now Open!
Athletes, this is the moment you’ve (hopefully) been awaiting - registration is officially open for the 2021 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon & ½ Marathon being planned for Sunday, October 17!
We have worked for months with local and state leaders and health officials on our return to an in-person event this fall, and with continued progress occurring in the battle against COVID-19, we are ready for you to sign up and begin training for 26.2 or 13.1 miles!
If we are unable to proceed with our race in October due to COVID-19, we will issue all registrants a full refund to the credit card with which they paid. Please see our FAQ link for more details.
The decision to cancel the event in 2020 was based upon one key factor – safety – and this remains our main priority going forward.
What is the next step for you? Get registered HERE and begin (or ramp up) your training! Prices for June and July are $115 for the Marathon and $95 for the 1/2 Marathon.
We hope to see you at the start line on October 17!
