Rally Columbus

We may not be able to give one another a high five after a great run together, but that won't stop us from supporting one another.  We're a tough running & walking community, right?  Let's show it!

The Rally Columbus running and walking program is a free program meant to inspire all of us through trying times, brought to you by the crew at Columbus Running Company.  Sign up to take part, keep motivation high, and share your story.  This is not a race or a coached training program.  It's a free inspirational campaign to keep all of us moving forward.  When you register, you'll be linked with other runners & walkers through a variety of ways, and we'll all be rallying together to keep spirits high and to keep all of us accountable to our running and walking goals.  You got this!

HOW IT WORKS

1. Sign up.
2. Run.  Walk.  Keep moving.  Through Rally Columbus, you can download free training plans if you need them.  Or you can stick to your current routine.  What matters is that we all stay active.  
3. Socialize.  Social distancing is important right now.  So is remaining social.  Let's all lean on one another using the tools at our disposal - from social media to Strava mileage logs - to communicate and support one another.  As you sign up for the program, you'll get more info on how we're linking the Columbus running & walking community during these unique times. 
4. Support.  Columbus Running Company will be sending out Rally Columbus coaching emails.  These will share all of our stories.  They'll provide tips to keep you going, mile after solo mile.  They'll hold us all accountable, because the world isn't stopping and we need to move.
5. Incentivize.  Join up, move, share your story, and you could be rewarded with CRC gift cards, race entries, and more. 

NOTE: Be sure to check your inbox for your confirmation email after registering.  This will contain social links, free downloadable training plans, and more. 

OVERALL PROGRAM GOAL

We're runners and walkers.  

Runners and walkers are goal-driven people. 

The goal of Rally Columbus is to keep all of us focused on our goals.  To provide a network that can link strangers through one major commonality - a love of movement.  We'll be collecting your stories and sharing them through social media and a Rally Columbus motivational email.  The Columbus Running Company is known for our free community-driven group runs & walks.  This program is designed to fill the void as those group runs & walks are on pause while we weather the current public health storm. 

CONNECTING ALL OF US

As we lean on one another for support, the Columbus Running Company has a few options set up for you to use in order to stay linked with your running & walking community: 

• Strava: Strava is an online running & walking log where you can interact with other users.  Join the CRC group at https://www.strava.com/clubs/columbusrunningcompany  Post your workouts.  Friend others.  Share comments.  Let's keep community alive & strong.
• Facebook: Join the Rally Columbus Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/2090690071074825/  Share your pics, your runs, and your walks.
• Instagram & Twitter: Use #RallyColumbus on your posts about running and walking, and let's share as many of our uplifting, positive moments as we can. 
• Motivational Email: We'll be sending out motivational emails through this program, keeping you up to date on inspirational stories and sharing any run or race updates we can. 
• Incentives: We all need something to look forward to right now.  How about the chance to win gift cards & race entries from the Columbus Running Company?  Inspire us with your posts on Strava or social media, while using #RallyColumbus, and you could win one of our prize giveaways.

Once we run through this current disruption, race schedules will resume.  Group runs & walks will start back up.  We'll be able to give you a high five after a great run.  Let's keep that in mind and let's rally together to build towards that moment.
