The 100th anniversary of the Ohio High School Athletic Association Track & Field Championships will be held at the Jesse Owens Track at Ohio State University on June 1st and 2nd.

I will be working with the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department in directing the 30th annual Columbus 10K on June 10th. This race started as the Citizen Journal 10K and is the oldest road race in Columbus. The Columbus 10K will be the Ohio USA Track & Field State 10K Championships and the method for choosing the states' representative to the National 10K Championships in the fall through the USATF Association Athletic Development Program. If you have run this race in the past or looking for a downtown event I hope you will run the Columbus 10K year. The first 1,000 athletes who pick up their race packets will receive a 30th anniversary poster. After the race you can enjoy the Columbus Arts Festival along the banks of the Scioto River, which is just one block from the finish line at City Hall. If you would like to volunteer for this race please contact me runohio@ee.net

I am also putting the finishing touches on four summer cross- country fun runs to be held Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. at the Bryn Du property in Granville. The dates are June 28th - 3km, July 12th - 3km, July 26th - 5km and August 9th - 5km. There are a number of great summer cross-country series throughout the state but there were none in the Central Ohio area so I started this series last year. I hope you will be able to attend a few of these runs and enjoy the Village of Granville afterwards.

The Running Network National Race Calendar

RUNOHIO is part of The Running Network, which is a group of thirty-three regional running publications with the goal of providing the most comprehensive source of information for grassroots runners. I try to update race results as often as I get them and I have someone who updates other information on the RUNOHIO site. A person who does it for the National site updates national information and you can access it from the RUNOHIO site. A new feature is The Running Network National Calendar, which allows race directors to easily post upcoming races. For more information on listing races on this web site go to: http://www.runohio.com/archive
