Remembrance Mile

Honor. Remember. Celebrate.

Sometimes a child's journey ends earlier than others.

One special mile on the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon is dedicated to the children who are no longer here with us. Families come together to support one another, share memories, and celebrate the days they shared with their children will make this mile an experience that gives this marathon a new meaning. When you run through the Remembrance Mile, run for those kids who have finished their race, and be inspired to take advantage of every single day.

We would like to invite you to honor and celebrate your child at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon & 1/2 Marathon Remembrance Mile.

Please join us at the following:
