    Survivor Spotlight! Meet Linda Witter, a 20 year cervical cancer survivor diagnosed and treated in 2005. Hear her uplifting story and learn how you can give hope to others through advocacy.

    Linda served as the head coach of The Ohio State University synchronized (artistic) swimming coach from 1996-2012 (17 seasons - 671-18 record.)  During that time, she led the program to 11 U.S. Collegiate titles and 32 event titles. She coached 125 All-American student-athletes and was named Coach of the Year eight times in her 17 years at the helm. In 2004, she served as the assistant coach of the USA Olympic Team that earned two bronze medals at the summer Olympic Games in Athens. She was the head coach of the 2009 U.S. National Team that competed at the world championships in Rome and also served as the head coach of the 1996 U.S. National Team I squad.

    Your donations at Work! Proceeds will benefit nonprofits who share in our mission and will help to fund our education programs and our Patient Support Program which provides patients being treated in Columbus with nutrition and transportation support.

    For the Health of It! Health and Wellness experts will be onsite to provide HPV-related cancer prevention education materials and to answer your questions. 

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.

ALWAYS visit the race's website for the most complete and accurate race information.
