PRESENTED BY THE CITY OF HILLIARD AND THE ROTARY CLUB OF HILLIARD

HILLIARD’S 1ST ANNUAL

COVID-19 VIRTUAL MARATHON

26.2 MILE MONTH LONG WALK/RUN

**Pricing extended through September 13.  We will close registrations at that point.

What a long, strange year 2020 has been already. Dozens and dozens of races and events canceled due to the pandemic. But here’s an event, in which you can participate…from the comfort of your home, your neighborhood, your gym, or even while on your family vacation!

 Hilliard’s first annual COVID-19 Virtual Marathon will take place the ENTIRE month of September. The City has partnered with the Rotary Club of Hilliard to put on this first of its kind event. The virtual marathon is unique because YOU CHOOSE how, when and where you want to complete your 26.2 marathon miles. Your miles can be completed by running, walking or a combination of the two during the month of September.

A portion of your registration fee will be directly donated to your choice of participating local organizations (see further down this page) that are serving those in need in our community.  

We believe that even as we fight COVID-19 as a community, we can still come together virtually to have fun, get healthy and give back.  Saying you have completed a marathon is pretty cool too!  If you need further reasons to participate, below are 19 reasons why to participate, 19 ideas of how to participate and 19 types of people who should participate.  Don't miss out on this first annual virtual marathon!
