Columbus Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 45°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 60°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 66% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Columbus 1/2 Marathon covers 13.1 miles on the Sunday of race weekend, starting and finishing at North Bank Park in downtown Columbus. The course heads east on Broad Street past the Columbus Museum of Art and Franklin Park Conservatory, loops through Bexley past Capital University, then turns back toward downtown through historic German Village near Schiller Park. The final miles run north on High Street to the finish, and the official course description calls the elevation changes minimal.
