About the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Half Marathon
The Columbus Half Marathon celebrates its twentieth edition in 2026 as a separately scored race within the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon weekend. Its charity partnership is central to the event experience.
Course
The urban road route starts and finishes downtown and shares the event's broad, well-supported early miles. The profile is generally performance-friendly, though turns and crowding require patient pacing.
Race-day weather
Mid-October in Columbus often delivers cool starts, but wind, rain or a warm afternoon remain possible. Downtown buildings can create changing wind exposure across the course.
