Candy Race 5k Columbus 2026

Candy Race 5k Columbus is a 5k run/walk at Glacier Ridge Metro Park in Central Ohio, with the main race starting at 8:00 AM. It is designed as a light, family-friendly event rather than a competitive road race, and it also includes the Jelly Tot Dash for children ages 1 to 6 just before the 5k starts. The candy theme continues at the finish line: 5k participants receive candy, a colorful shirt, a custom bib, and a large custom medal. Free race photos are included, and awards are given to the top overall male and female runners, plus male and female age-group winners from 14 and under through 70 and over.
