The Komen Columbus Race became a part of this national effort in 1993. - The Komen Columbus Race is the largest road race in Ohio.
- Seventy-five percent of our proceeds are awarded each year through a grant process to local organizations.In 2004, 15 organizations were selected to receive funding.Each grantee conducts a program that offers breast cancer education, screening or treatment to residents of Central Ohio.The remaining 25 percent is directed to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation National Grant Program to fund research on a national and international level.
- The Komen Columbus Race is more than a race for runners or fitness walkers.It is an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to honor a loved one who has lost the battle with breast cancer, to show support of someone winning the battle now or to help raise funds to fight the disease.
