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!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the 3 Bridge 5k has had to change locations.
Race Time will remain the same, with the first wave of runners leaving at 7 A.M.
The new location will be at Hardaway High School. We ask that you avoid approaching Hardaway from Armour Road or Camille Drive as part of the course will be on these roads.
We also ask, that you try to park near the front of the school, instead of in the main parking lot. This will allow cars to come and go easily without interfering with the course.
And remember, we’re still limited to how many people we can have in one place. Once you have completed your race, please vacate the area to make room for the next wave of runners.
The new course is as follows: Map My Run
And don’t worry, you’re still running over 3 bridges, just some different ones.
Your wave time will be verified at packet pickup. You will not be able to change waves. We will not have race day pick up or sign up due to Covid-19 precautions.
Packet pickup will take place at Big Dog Running, Friday June 5th. It will go from 12pm to 6pm.
Due to the restrictions placed on us by the Covid-19 crisis, for the first race in our series, we are forced to handle this year’s sign up of the summer series a little differently.
If you are interested in signing up for the Summer Series, please contact Carolee Luther. Her email is: caroleeluther@gmail.com
We thank you for your patience and support during these trying times as we try to continue our series and keep everyone safe.
