About the Warm Up Columbus
The course is a one-mile loop run repeatedly on flat road, which means spectators can watch from a single spot and see runners come through again and again. Pace teams are out there, covering a wide range of speeds including a walking group, so you are rarely alone on the road. The surroundings are suburban Dublin, and the loop keeps the atmosphere concentrated.
Packet pickup runs at a Fleet Feet location earlier in race week, with race-morning pickup inside a hotel at the start area. Traffic into the parking lots backs up early, so arriving well before the gun matters. The race director is direct about this: late arrivals should not expect a delayed start.

The Warm Up Columbus has been held every year since at least 2020. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
