The Columbus Marathon identifies itself as, "America's Most Meaningful Race." After spending the next hour with Darris Blackford and Alli Hile, we think you'll understand why that title fits the event. Darris serves as Race Director, drawing on a wealth of experience as he helps organize one of the Midwest's finest marathons. Alli was the original Marathon Mile Patient Champion representing Nationwide Children's Hospital -- the primary beneficiary of Columbus Marathon's extraordinary fundraising outreach and source of race day inspiration for runners and walkers.
