About the Event

Join us for Columbus Running Company's CRC Signature Series August race, the Blacklick Creek 5 Miler! Summertime will be no match for you as you'll be under a cool green canopy while you traverse this 5 mile course along the paved and scenic Blacklick Creek Greenway Trail!

We have a new location this year! Beginning at Portman Park, the flat, fast and mostly shaded out-and-back course will be run entirely on the Blacklick Trail, ending right where you began. Whether you're looking for a new and unique distance to try, you've been reminiscing on your old college 8K days, or you're looking for a "race prep" opportunity, the Blacklick Creek 5 Miler is here to provide that for you!

Please note, there will be no parking at Portman Park. Shuttles will run from the Kroger parking lot to Portman Park from 6:30am to 11:00am to ensure a safe, quick commute for participants. Check out our Race Day Parking page for more information.
