The RUNColumbus Race Series proudly announces that nominations are now open for the first G.R.I.T. Award, a peer-selected accolade celebrating Grit, Resilience, Integrity, and Tenacity.
The G.R.I.T. Award honors a RUNColumbus athlete who inspires others and embodies our values on and off the course. This award is especially meaningful because it’s driven by teammates who are in the best position to identify their most impactful peers.
What G.R.I.T. Stands For:
- Grit: A combination of perseverance and passion for achieving their goals, demonstrating commitment and resolve through the ups and downs of their running journey.
- Resilience: The ability to recover from setbacks—whether from injuries, personal struggles, physical limitations, or life challenges—maintaining a positive spirit and moving forward purposefully.
- Integrity: Shows respect, kindness, and support for others, focusing on uplifting the RUNColumbus community with positivity and encouragement.
- Tenacity: A relentless drive to push themself to be their very best.
If you know someone whose journey has exemplified these qualities, don’t miss the chance to honor them. Submit your nomination by November 22, and let’s celebrate their example. The recipient will be announced at the RUNColumbus Awards Celebration on December 15.
Nominations are closed.
