We have done this race many times over the years and I have never done a review. Well, that ends…read moretoday. The reason that we typically run the Cap City over the Columbus Marathon is because Cap City is in the spring as oppose to the Columbus Marathon that is in the late fall. For my fiance the fall is a difficult time of year due to football season (he is a coach), so we choose to do Cap City in the spring. We have done both the Half and the Quarter, the routes are always well mapped out. If you haven't done a race in Columbus, Ohio yet you will be pleasantly surprised to find out that there is not much elevation change throughout the route. It makes for a nice even, almost east race. Two years ago I switched from the half to the quarter and I had so much fun. It was like a leisurely Saturday morning run. I told myself after I crossed that finish that I am done with the half. Now I just want to go out, have fun, and enjoy my run and the others I'm out on the course with. I'm so thrilled with my decision and I'm never looking back. My favorite part is when I cross the finish line and I make my way to the after party. Food and drink is free and plentiful. The weather was perfect this year for the race (first time in years and years) and ideal to hang out for an extended period of time at the after party. We almost had too much fun at the after party!!!! So much camaraderie to be had with fellow runners. Congratulations abound and cans of free beverages are raised. We had the absolute best time this year. Try the quarter out, I bet you have fun!!!!

This was the best supported Half Marathon I've ever run, with support stations stocked with electrolytes and water every 2 miles! For once, I didn't have to run carrying my own bottle! And they had GU blocks at Mile 6- yay! Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers! Also loved the 8:00 a.m. start time- super civilized! Good job to all the 7000(?) finishers! Love this event, as it has a real community feel to it, now I want to move to Columbus :)

He's in great shape and found the yellow and green courses (the two easiest) to be fun and still challenging. I was able to complete the entry level yellow course myself despite being overweight and out of shape. This is a workout and will engage all your muscles as you use your core and upper body strength to help stabilize you on the obstacles. It was a fun way to spend 3 hours together as a family.

There is also a large open greenspace. We came upon it during our stroll along the nearby section of the Olentangy Trail and enjoyed the stop! There's some nice shade over some of the benches and picnic tables, which was quite pleasant.
