Description

Celebrate energy in motion with us on September 12, 2021.

OUR 2021 RACE IS ON!

You can register now for the 2021 AEP Ohio Columbus 10K Presented by Orangetheory Fitness, to be held on Sunday, September 12, 2021, at Olentangy Liberty Middle School in Powell, Ohio.

Due to the uncertainty with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to get a permit secured for our event in downtown Columbus for our originally scheduled date in June of 2021 and were also not able to move the event date but stay in downtown Columbus. For one year only, the AEP Ohio Columbus 10K will be held in Powell, Ohio. At the time of this date/venue change announcement (March 31), the City of Powell and Delaware County ARE ALLOWING races to take place. We're very excited to have an approved race venue and can't wait to see you on September 12, 2021, for the 44th Annual AEP Ohio Columbus 10K.

Participant cap: based on health department guidelines, the current in-person registration cap for this event is 1,500. If there are updates to these guidelines, the event cap may be raised prior to the event. There is no cap for the virtual event.

As of 12:01 PM on Monday, April 12, the in-person 10K is SOLD OUT at 1,500 registrants. This cap may be increased/lifted in the future as conditions and regulations allow. If this happens, announcements will be made via email, social media, and on the race website. Please use the 'Questions' button below if we can help in any way.
