She Runs Columbus 15K & 5K
About this race
Join us on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at Genoa Park in Downtown Columbus, Ohio, as we celebrate strength, confidence, and community. In support of Mayor Andrew Ginther’s vision to make Columbus the Capital for Women in Sports, She Runs Columbus empowers women of all ages and abilities to believe in themselves, take up space, and run boldly toward their goals.
She Runs Columbus exists to empower women through movement, community, and purpose—cultivating self-confidence, self-love, and belief at every stage of life, from beginner to elite.
More than a race, She Runs Columbus is a celebration of what’s possible when women support women. Set against the iconic skyline of downtown Columbus, our 15K and 5K welcome first-time runners, walkers, seasoned competitors, and elites alike—creating an inclusive, uplifting environment where every woman belongs, every pace is celebrated, and every finish line is a victory.
