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.

With Covid-19 continuing to wreak havoc, it is not fair to ask you to commit or spend your money to do so until there is more known about how the spring, summer and, ultimately, the fall will unfold.

As we all continue to be affected by the changes this virus has forced upon us, please check our website and follow us on social media for updates on when we will move ahead; we will provide you with plenty of time to make your decision to join us!

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.
