Blazin' 5 Miler 2023

Short review

For those seeking summer shade, start the final month of summer off right with this gem of a race in southeast Columbus. When the dog days of summer arrive in their sweltering haze and the temperatures are hot enough to grill your GU, you can seek the tree-covered paths of the Blacklick Trail to keep you cool while you head out with your friends to take part in this CRC Signature Series race. Go ahead and dare that fiery mass to do its worst, 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.

Beat the heat this summer and join us at the Blazin' 5 Miler.

The 2021 event has received final approval for in-person status! Our virtual event is still an option for those who prefer, but all those who signed up for in-person and kept their fingers crossed: we'll see you on August 15th!!!
