Tip #8 | Celebration Village!

Tip #8 Celebration Village!


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!


Finish Line festivities begin immediately after crossing the finish line -- athletes will get their medals, a quick bite to eat, and can enjoy a traditional Celebration Village full of their favorite things! This year, Celebration Village will feature the return of food trucks, a robust Columbus Marathon store with official merchandise, medal engraving, the Raising Cane's Meet Up Zone and the perfect photo backdrops for your best Columbus Marathon selfies!


The Dick’s Sporting Goods Gear Check Tent will be nearby (at Spring & McConnell Streets) to make picking up your items simple and quick! If you set a personal record, make sure to ring one of TWO PR gongs presented by White Castle to celebrate your best time.


Most importantly, there will be ample space to truly reflect on the achievement of running a full or 1/2 marathon. You’ve worked hard and sacrificed countless hours to make this day happen. Take time to celebrate!

Love this countdown idea — super helpful and gets everyone hyped for race day! The finish line vibes sound amazing too. That same rush of momentum and celebration honestly reminds me of SoFlo Wheelie Life when you finally nail a long run and cross your own finish line
