Athlete Spotlight: Leigh Johnson

Now in her fourth season with RUNColumbus, Leigh Johnson says one thing stands out above all: the incredible support she’s found within the community. Before joining, she was racing on her own simply to stay motivated. Finding a group that shares her passion for running has made all the difference.

Leigh also loves the added challenge of pursuing the various RUNColumbus awards, which provide an extra layer of motivation that has been invaluable. Her dedication—and the encouragement of her teammates—helped her complete her first marathon last year, and she’s already training for her second.

Leigh’s journey is a powerful reminder of what community, goals, and shared miles can do.
