About This Race
The Columbus Marathon is regularly voted one of America's Top 10 marathons — a flat, fast, and exceptionally well-organized BQ race through Ohio's energetic capital city. The course runs through the Short North arts district with its galleries and restaurants, through Ohio State University's massive historic campus (home of the Buckeyes), along Olentangy River trails, through the German Village cobblestone neighbourhood, and down Broad Street to the State Capitol finish.
