Organizers had to cut short the 5K race due to lightening and hail moving in faster than expected at the Columbus Race for the Cure.
Stormy weather forced organizers to cut short the Columbus Race for the Cure on Saturday. Due to inclement weather and consultation with the Columbus Police and Fire departments, the route was shortened to 2 miles.
The 1-mile route remained the same. Race officials evacuated the course and got everyone safely out. Most participants were able to complete the 2026 Race for the Cure, despite the rain and storms.
