Marathon season is getting underway this weekend for Team CWRC! Coaches Chris and Amy Taylor are in South Dakota and participating in the Run Crazy Horse Marathon Sunday.

At the same time, Justin Boggs will be in Minnesota taking part in the Twin Cities Marathon! This will be his second time trying to compete the marathon. In 2023, the race was cancelled due to extreme heat. The forecast is looking much better this time around!

Good luck to them this weekend!!!

We are very proud of Brittney (and Kayla) and rooting them onto a huge PR next month!

What a fantastic evening at the Oktoberfest Meiler Vier organized by M3S Sports! Not only did we have a sizable crew show up to run, but we also had members volunteering and cheering on participants.

Even Peter and Ken were cordial after the race after Peter finished in first place in his age group ahead of Ken!!!

It was great to see so many friends in the Columbus walk/run community on hand!!!
