About the Warm Up Columbus Marathon
This compact Columbus-area event is designed for athletes who want a supported winter effort without disappearing onto a long road course. The lap format keeps crews, spectators and supplies close throughout the race.
Course
Marathoners complete 26 full circuits plus the measured fraction on a certified one-mile loop. The repeated layout simplifies pacing and aid access, though disciplined lap counting and focus are important late in the race.
Race-day weather
Central Ohio in early February can deliver freezing air, wind, wet pavement or occasional milder conditions. Runners should prepare for repeated exposure on the open loop and adjust layers as the day changes.
