Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon

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!

WALKING DIVISION

Our 1/2 Marathon course traditionally remains open until Noon, providing athletes able to keep up a pace of at least 18:20 per mile the chance to finish. The Marathon course remains open until 2:30 p.m., providing athletes able to keep up a pace of at least 14:54 per mile the chance to finish.

To encourage more people to walk our event, we partner with the New Albany Walking Club, which has provided pace leaders for our race for many years.

Additionally, the New Albany Walking Club has a walking group each Sunday and training programs for the Marathon & 1/2 Marathon.
