WHAT

A free social run and walk from the Short North CRC. Experience the latest models from Nike, contribute your morning miles to our team's total, and drop off toys for our toy drive!

Ann Arbor Running Company will be hosting a similar run. Whichever running community logs the most miles + collects the most toys will be crowned the champions of The Rivalry Run. 

CRC's toy drive benefits the Nationwide Children's Hospital Foundation. For a breakdown of preferred and acceptable toy donations, click here.

WHERE

The Short North CRC at 765 N High Street in Columbus

DISTANCE

You choose your own distance at CRC Saturday morning runs - we'll use an out-and-back path, so just turn back as you reach your halfway point, whether it's a 1 miler or a 20 miler

WHAT'S AT STAKE?

A lot. The winning community earns bragging rights for a year. 

But let's talk about the humiliation of a loss. The running shop in the losing city is forced to make a social media post in the opposing team's gear. And the losers have to act like they love it. (Columbus won last year! But two years ago, we were forced to post this abomination to Instagram 🤢)

The Ann Arbor Running Company team looks great in scarlet & grey. We look terrible in maize & blue. Join CRC on November 21st to lead us to the win!
