It was a beautiful morning for the Columbus 10K, a longtime favorite of Team RUNColumbus and a highlight on the Challenger Series calendar. Under ideal race conditions, runners brought their best—and Team RUNColumbus was out in full force!
A huge shoutout to Race Director Andy Harris and his outstanding team for delivering another top-notch event. We’re also incredibly proud of the many RUNColumbus teammates who volunteered on race day, including several pacers who helped others hit their goals.
Special thanks to Jules for staffing the RUNColumbus tent and greeting guests with a warm and engaging smile, and to Sean and Michele for volunteering with Team Heart & Sole—Michele’s first time supporting these true Champions!
In a highly competitive field, Team RUNColumbus celebrated five age group podiums—including two first-place finishes! Annie (15–19) kicked off her post-graduation summer with a win, and Patti (70–74) topped her division once again. Other standout finishers included Amy (3rd, 40–44), Clare (2nd, 50–54), and Sue (3rd, 70–74).
The energy, camaraderie, and countless personal bests made for another unforgettable day on the roads.
