Columbus Marathon: The Race is On

The Nationwide Better Health COLUMBUS MARATHON started this morning at 7:30 am, when 15,000 people were ready to give their best at this already classic race.

The starting line was near the intersection of Broad and Third Streets in downtown Columbus and the event was sold out at 5,000 participants. The 2010 Columbus Marathon had a new Corral Start system.

There will be awards for winners from different age groups, for the top three in marathon and half marathon and top three in each age group.

In the 2009 edition, the COLUMBUS MARATHON WINNERS were Matt Folk, Perrysburg OH, with a time of 2:20:45 and Rachel Kinsman, Archbold OH with 2:47:44.
