Description

New Race Name - Same Cool Course!

We're excited to unveil the new look for Columbus Running Company's CRC Signature Series August race. Allow us to reintroduce ourselves as the Blacklick Creek 5 Miler! Summertime will be no match for you as you'll be under a cool green canopy for most of your 5 miles. 

Starting at the Jerry L. Garver YMCA, this southeast Columbus race course winds next to Blacklick Creek before ending back at the YMCA where you can cool down and check out all the YMCA has to offer.

Sign up to enjoy those creekside views and join us at the Blacklick Creek 5 Miler.
