Frequently Asked Questions
Are all of these runs & walks free?
Yep! It's all about community and it's all free. Share the miles with us!
Do I just show up?
Yep! Come dressed to be active, sign our digital waiver via a QR code when you arrive, and one of our Run & Walk Captains will be on the lookout for newcomers to introduce you to the group.
Do you ever cancel?
Rarely. We'll cancel for lightning, snow emergencies, and extreme conditions. But we'll generally run in the rain, the snow, the cold, the heat - and occasionally on days with actual nice weather too.
Also, we don't meet on major holidays including Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I'm nervous about joining a run & walk group. Can you talk me into it?
We get it - it's intimidating to step into any group for the first time. But runners and walkers are an inviting bunch. And we have Run & Walk Captains at each meetup, specifically there to watch for first-timers and to help you find your spot within the pack.
Is there someone else at my pace?
We draw a wide range of paces. CRC runners & walkers have finished first at the Columbus Marathon and finished last at the same race. So yes, there's a huge mix & all are welcome.
With over 1,000 free runs and walks a year, we do not generally have pace group leaders. We can't guarantee a pacer specific to you and the crowds fluctuate from week to week. But give it a shot for a couple of meetups - pace groups form organically, and runners & walkers quickly bond as those shared miles add up.
