Jesse Owens Stadium: It is not The Horseshoe, that historical venue where the meet was held for many years, but it is a first-class facility that honors one of America’s track icons.

The Minnesota State Track Coaches’ Association conducts a True Team State Championship each spring, in addition to the traditional state meet sponsored by the governing body that regulates high school athletes (MSHAL).

Join RUNOHIO and Columbus Running Company on August 12th and run through Scioto Audubon Metro Park and along the Scioto River in this fifth annual event in memory of Jeff McGowan.

Injuries are a part of running that we would like to think will never or rarely occur. However, the longer our running careers, the greater the likelihood that any injury will occur. The harder we train will also increase the chances of some physical injury.

Running performance starts with fueling, not training! The best way to fuelto be a better runner seems to be a debatable topic these days. To keep on top of the science regarding food, exercise & performance, I look to SCAN, the Sports & Cardiovascular Nutrition practice group of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND). Here are some tidbits of information from this year's 35th annual meeting in Keystone CO, May 2018 (#SCANSymposium)

Bidding to host the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track & Field has been reopened, USATF announced May 1st. The USATF Board of Directors unanimously authorized the move amid continuing litigation surrounding construction of a new Hilmer Lodge Stadium at Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) in Walnut, California, and the resulting delays on planning for a successful 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials.

Atlanta will host the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Marathon for both men and women, USA Track & Field and the United States Olympic Committee announced April 23rd

The 2018 RUNOHIO Grand Prix is a series of races chosen by runners and the staff of RUNOHIO to be part of a statewide grand prix.

Check out the new races on the series this year.

By a recent program-by-program count, there are now more than four million children logging miles in elementary school or after-school running programs. (1) Coupling that with the surging number of kids entering recreational Fun Runs and 5K races, there is an expectation that there would be similar growth in the number of kids who would run in high school and beyond. And yes, the number of high school students running cross country is at an all-time high nationally.
