Ninja 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Columbus August 15

Rotary Park hosts a simple paved race, a no-frills event where runners can arrive prepared to compete without navigating a festival atmosphere. Packet pickup occurs just before the start, restrooms are available in the parking lot, and the key instruction is clear: "No on-site registration." The course follows an out-and-back format. The longer the distance chosen, the more repetitions of the same paved section occur. This setup is ideal for runners who prefer predictability on each loop. A strict time limit is in effect, finisher medals are awarded, and standard US Road Running features are included, such as awards, series points, and a Best Costume category for those who wish to add a playful element to their race.
