Join us for the 3rd Annual Christmas in July 5K, now an evening run, along with a 1 Miler and Kids Run. A fun, festive event benefiting Worthington Connects, a nonprofit dedicated to providing year round support to Worthington students and families facing financial hardship.

This family-friendly event is more than just a race, it’s a celebration of community. Runners, walkers, and spectators can enjoy a lively Christmas in July atmosphere, featuring local business sponsors with vendor tables, delicious food trucks, and plenty of holiday cheer in the summer evening.

Proceeds from registration and fundraising efforts directly support Worthington Connects, helping provide essential resources to families not only during the holidays, but throughout the entire year.

Whether you’re tackling the 5K, joining the 1 Miler, cheering on your little runners, or supporting from the sidelines, your participation helps bring hope, joy, and meaningful support to those who need it most. Be sure to stick around after the race to explore sponsor booths, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the festivities.

Participants will have the chance to win prizes generously donated by local businesses, adding even more excitement to the evening.

Let’s come together as a community to support Worthington families. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line!

    Are you a quitter?

    Probably not. But our job is to get in your head and yours is to keep running. Don't quit.

    Nocterra Brewing and Columbus Running Company invite you to take on the toughest running event in all of Powell, Ohio - The Nocterra Quitter's Run presented by Brooks. Sure there are only 26 feet of climbing per lap, but our emcee will be giving you tons of other reasons to stop. Get thirsty? Quit and have a beer. Stopped by a train? Turn around and head to the beer garden. Very slightly fatigued and not quite feelin’ it? Beer! The course starts and ends outside Nocterra’s beer garden. We have distances from 1/8th-marathon to 6-hour ultra and we encourage you to sign up for the distance that will push you to your limits. How many laps can you handle on our 3.2-mile course? Leaning towards one of the longer distance races? Our marathon and ultra-marathon events have quickly become two of the most unique and competitive events in the Central Ohio area. Check our results page to see how you would stack up against runners from recent years!

    Please note: all participants must complete their event by 1 PM. Any starter not finished by 1 PM will be designated a "Quitter". This means that the ultra-marathon has a 6-hour time limit, the marathon has a 5-hour time limit, the 1/2-marathon has a 3-hour time limit, the 1/4-marathon has a 2-hour time limit, and the 1/8-marathon has a 1-hour time limit. There is no early start option for any event, and no new laps can begin after 12:35 PM. Please see our additional race information section for all updated rules and time schedules for this year.

    Pick your challenge

    Should you take on your first marathon with a support team cheering you on in the beer garden? Or, just one lap and then a beer? Ultra-minded? See how many laps you can complete in under 6 hours. You can even quit at the start line! No matter what, there’s a beer for you when you’re done.

    The course

    The course is a mix of streets, bike paths, and sidewalks. A link to the course map is included under the "Additional Race Information" heading below.

    Don’t like the course conditions? We don’t care. Just quit.
