2021 Registration Paused
We typically open registration on February 1 for the upcoming year’s Marathon & ½ Marathon, but have paused those plans for 2021.
While vaccinations are on the rise and some bright spots are emerging, we do not yet have a clear indication of when events such as ours can resume, and registration for our October 17 event remains on hold.
We've long said it isn't fair to ask you to spend your hard-earned money on uncertainty, but if we can move forward you'll receive plenty of notice to sign up!
DETAILS
Each year hundreds of youngsters take part in the Highlights Kids’ Run! Cost is $10 per child, with each participant receiving a medal, a hat and post-race refreshments!
Events range from the “Diaper Dash” for wee ones, up to .80 mile run for older kids, with a variety of distances for other ages in between. Before the races, there is a Kids’ Run Expo featuring family-friendly organizations, activities, sports teams and demonstrations.
The Road Beyond
$10 Million
Nationwide Children’s Hospital is honored to be the title beneficiary for the Columbus Marathon & 1/2 Marathon. 2021 marks the 10th year
of this partnership; so far more than $10 million has been raised for the Hospital. This includes more than $1 million contributed since 2012 by the Columbus Marathon Board of Directors.
