About the Columbus Cookie Run and Walk
The course runs along the Alum Creek Trail, which keeps things scenic and largely paved. There are several distance options, from a short kids dash up through a longer run, so groups with mixed abilities tend to show up together. The whole event has a spring-outing feel, and the trail setting does most of the work.
At the finish there are snacks, fruit, and freshly baked cookies where you pick your own flavor. Photos are taken at the finish line as well, so there is a small moment of ceremony when you cross.

The Columbus Cookie Run and Walk has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
