OHIOHEALTH SPECTATOR & SIGN MAKING ZONES:
OhioHealth will sponsor three sign-making zones that will help you motivate your favorite runners and walkers.
Downtown:
High and Spring streets
Front and Long streets
The High and Spring street location is a short walk from the Start and Finish line and offers prime viewing to see runners and walkers in the Half Marathon, Quarter Marathon and 5K while the Front and Long Street location is the perfect spot to see Half and Quarter runners approach the Finish Line.
German Village:
Frankfurt and Third streets
At just past the two-mile mark on the Half Marathon and Quarter Marathon course and just past the 1-mile mark on the 5K course, the German Village location provides ideal viewing for runners and walkers early in the event. After you see your favorite runner walker, hit up one of the nearby coffee shops.
