Description
Join us on Sunday, May 5, 2024 at the Westerville Sports Complex on Cleveland Ave in Westerville for the 2024 Let Me Run Columbus SpringFest 5K.
Let Me Run is a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. Twice a week for seven weeks, trained volunteer coaches lead an elementary or middle school team through practice. Designed to amplify confidence, self-expression, and respect for others. Each fall and spring season culminates in a 5k race festival that celebrates the boys’ personal growth.
Let Me Run is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Learn more at http://letmerun.org/
IMPORTANT: Please note that this registration site is for Let Me Run 5K Run/Walk - OPEN participants. It is NOT for members of the Let Me Run program, as boys in the Let Me Run program are already registered for the 5K through their coach. If you are a Let Me Run program participant and are unsure if your coach has signed you up for the race, please contact Shruti Gupta at shrutig@letmerun.org
