Join us on Sunday, May 3, 2026 at the Westerville Sports Complex on Cleveland Ave in Westerville for the 2026 Let Me Run Columbus SpringFest 5K.

Let Me Run is a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. Twice a week for seven weeks, trained volunteer coaches lead an elementary or middle school team through practice. Designed to amplify confidence, self-expression, and respect for others. Each fall and spring season culminates in a 5k race festival that celebrates the boys’ personal growth.

Let Me Run is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Learn more at http://letmerun.org/

IMPORTANT: Please note that this registration site is for Let Me Run 5K Run/Walk - OPEN participants. It is NOT for members of the Let Me Run program, as boys in the Let Me Run program are already registered for the 5K through their coach. If you are a Let Me Run program participant and are unsure if your coach has signed you up for the race, please contact Shruti Gupta at shrutig@letmerun.org

Please join us in supporting maternal mental health on Sunday, May 10th, 2026 (Mother’s Day!) at the Westerville Sports Complex in Westerville, Ohio, for our 3rd Annual Mom Day 5k, 10k + Kiddo Dash! A gathering for all of “mom kind” and those affected by pregnancy struggles (miscarriages, stillbirths, hyperemesis gravidarum, infertility, and beyond) as well as postpartum struggles (anxiety, depression, isolation, and beyond). Family members, caregivers, fur moms, and ALL of humankind are welcomed and encouraged to join us! A portion of the proceeds raised will be donated to POEM Ohio (Perinatal Outreach and Encouragement for Moms), which offers support, resources, referrals, and a sense of community to help moms and birthing persons in Ohio feel heard, understood, and empowered. You don’t have to be a mom to join us! We welcome all runners, walkers, joggers, and community members to come out and enjoy a special morning together.

Did you know postpartum depression and other mental health conditions are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth? More than 30% of new moms & birthing persons experience them, according to POEM. We get to change this, one stride at a time. It's worth every mile to join us for this worthy cause.

Post-Race Celebration of Motherhood

Stick around after the race for our Celebration of Motherhood Village! Several local small businesses and nonprofits will be showcasing what they do for our community! We will have food and coffee for sale this year in addition to complimentary post-race snacks. We will have photo opportunities, mocktails, flowers, and more for 2026!

WE ARE BACK IN WESTERVILLE FOR 2026!

Sign up today for the 5th Annual Sloane Swanton Research Run! This is a 5K run/walk that will take place on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at the Westerville Sports Complex! That's right!

We are also excited to offer a virtual 5K option again this year for those who cannot attend on race day but would still like to support Pediatric Chordoma Research. Click the "Sign Up" button for more information. We hope to see you in August!

Sloane's Story

On May 26, 2021, the Swanton family's lives changed forever. Their youngest daughter, Sloane, was diagnosed with a 1 in a million brain tumor called a Pediatric Clival Chordoma. There is no treatment protocol for chordoma, especially in children. Sloane underwent 2 brain surgeries, 3 rounds of chemotherapy and was placed on a ventilator twice. The tumor started responding to chemo and Sloane regained her ability to move on her own, to breathe on her own and to even begin acting like a toddler again. Unfortunately though, the tumor stopped responding and started to grow despite all of the medical interventions she received. Sloane lost her battle to chordoma on September 14, 2021 at only 18 months old. Please join us in raising money to support Pediatric Chordoma Research through the Sloane Swanton 5K Research Run. Every dollar raised will help us move closer to finding a way to treat pediatric chordoma and develop new chemotherapy drugs to target those specific tumor cells. Her fight is our

fight now, her legacy is to help other children beat this horrible disease.
