The fall road racing season looks to be cancelled. Cross Country is supposed to start this month. The question we are waiting to know the answer to - will there be a season and how will the races be organized. With the COVID-19 – Corona virus cases increasing remember the various safety guidelines. 

The World Athletics Council has today confirmed the competition format for a cross country event to be included in the Olympic Games.

I hope you and your family are doing well and you are able to safely continue your running.
 
This time a year there are usually dozen of races in Ohio on any given weekend. Most summer and fall running events are either cancelled or have gone to a virtual event.

For the safety of everyone this year’s event will be a Virtual 5K Run/Walk. Registering for the Virtual 5K will enable you to pick up your t-shirt, and finisher pint glass at Columbus Running Company's Short North location during early packet pickup times. If you or a friend doesn’t pick up your race packet your t-shirt will be mailed to you two weeks after the event (sorry your pint glass will not be mailed).
