Welcome back to our annual “26 Tips for 26.2 Miles” blog series. For the 26 days leading up to race day, athletes and spectators can get daily tips to make the most of OUR race. Stay tuned for tips on parking and food, cool viewing spots and race rules, and answers to all your pressing race day questions. We are here to help you make the most of your 2023 Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon & ½ Marathon experience! Let’s go!
Today’s tip will help alleviate all your porta potty problems as you head onto the 13.1-mile or the 26.2-mile course. There will be more than 500 portable restrooms available throughout the start and finish areas and along the courses, so you’re bound to find one. And remember, if the bathroom lines are long, go a little farther and you will find more bathrooms with no lines.
We’ve got you covered before the race! There will be portable bathrooms in ALL “Athlete-Only” starting corrals!
Portable bathrooms also are located just past every fluid station on the course. Check out the course maps for the ½ Marathon and Marathon.
For those who don’t want to wait as long, Children’s Champions will have special access to restrooms at the start. Perhaps called a “VIPee” trailer, complete with running water! You can register to become a Children’s Champion now through race day.
Race Director Darris Blackford shared some words of wisdom to help make your bathroom break even better! Check out the video here that he’s featured in as part of our Friday Training Talks.
The porta potty intel is genuinely clutch—knowing there are bathrooms just past every fluid station means I can actually plan my water intake without panicking about a mid-race emergency. The "VIPee" trailer for Children's Champions made me laugh, but honestly, running water sounds like a luxury I'd pay for at mile 20. Speaking of race day plans, I'm already thinking about how I'll document the chaos, and I might use that bad quality image tool to make my post-race selfie look like it was taken on a flip phone from 2004—seems fitting for how I'll feel.
Super helpful—knowing there are restrooms in every starting corral and just past the fluid stations takes a lot of race morning stress away. I’ve been trying to stay calm during taper week too, and weirdly Get Roblox Piano Sheets has been a fun distraction.
