Candy Cane Course-Columbus

Candy Cane Course-Columbus takes place in Columbus, Ohio, on December 13, 2026, with every distance starting at 9:00 a.m. Four formats are on the schedule: a 15K (9.3 miles), a 10K, a 5K and a one-mile race. There is also a children's race, and a virtual option for anyone who cannot be there in person.

This Christmas-themed morning is built for mixed abilities, which makes it a good family entry: adults and kids can each find a distance. The 15K is the pick for a trained runner. It asks more than a 10K without demanding half marathon preparation, and it reads well as a fitness check before a spring goal. Entry includes a personalized bib, a designer shirt and a finisher medal, with chip timing, live results, free photos and treats at the finish. Youth pricing is available, and registering before the stated deadline is what guarantees your shirt.
