Athlete Spotlight – Daniel Lyons

Meet Daniel Lyons, a first-time participant in the RUNColumbus Race Series who we had the pleasure of meeting—along with his daughter Betsy—at Saturday’s Franklinton 10 Miler & 5K. Daniel thought it was too late to register for the series but was thrilled to learn that registration is still open!

He’s been seriously running for about a year and a half and trains with the Anytime Fitness Club, mixing in CrossFit and personal training. Daniel enjoys the longer distances like 10Ks—and maybe even 15Ks—but he’s especially excited to take on a new challenge in 2025: completing a half marathon in 1:54!

At 60 years old, he’s looking forward to connecting with a group of runners who are committed to improving and supporting each other. Welcome to the series, Daniel!
