We can all agree that 2020 didn’t go as expected.
So we’re going to start 2021 off with a different sort of challenge.

Our Run Streak Challenge is for any Columbus Roadrunner Member.
There are 3 options:
1) RUN 365 days per year of a minimum of 1 mile per day 1/12/2021 – 1/12/2022 (if you have run every day since 1/1/21 those days count)
2) RUN each of our monthly half’s
3) RUN a 5K per month with a minimum of 6 CRR races during the year.
The challenge is a RUNNING challenge not walking.

Everyone that is a member of CRR and completes one or more of the challenges will receive a cool shirt and medal.
Each participant will need to track their progress and be prepared to show visual data.

Please read The Complete Guide to the Pros and Cons of the Running Streak by Jason Fitzgerald – short informative article.

With respect to our community leaders, our medical professionals, our community of runners, volunteers, and sponsors along with each of you, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Red Nose Half Marathon due to the increased spike of Covid in our area. The safety of all involved must always come first. We understand this change may come as a disappointment and are sincerely sorry. For those who purchased a shirt, you will receive a $25 refund in the next couple of weeks.

Any questions, comments or concerns can be emailed to

We look forward to seeing you next year for Red Nose 2022!
