Let Me Run Columbus

Let Me Run Columbus was grateful to be part of Community Youth Camp today at KIPP Columbus, helping campers get moving with dynamic stretching and drills,strength activities, 400m runs, and cool-down stretches.

Thank you to The Columbus Sports Commission, KIPP Columbus, and all of the volunteers and partners helping create access to sports, connection, and confidence for Columbus kids.

This is what Let Me Run is all about: building strength, character, and community one step at a time.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country.

Their courage reminds us to lead with gratitude, run with purpose, and build a community rooted in respect, kindness, and strength.

We remember. 💚

More than miles.💚

This spring, our Hoffman Trails Elementary Let Me Run team put one of our core lessons into action through a service project supporting the Hoffman Food Pantry.

Each boy was invited to bring in items to help families in their own school community. Then, during practice, the team had the chance to learn more about the pantry, see how it supports Hoffman families, and help sort and organize the donations themselves.

That hands-on experience matters.

Because Let Me Run is not just about running farther or faster. It is about helping boys build confidence, character, empathy, and a deeper understanding of how even small acts of kindness can make a real difference.

We are so proud of these boys for showing up for their community.

Thank you to Hoffman Trails Elementary and Ms. Hawley for giving the HTE team such a meaningful opportunity to serve.

We’re still putting together the full SpringFest 5K photo gallery, but we could not let another day go by without saying this:

What a morning. 💚

On Sunday, May 3, Let Me Run boys, coaches, families, volunteers, sponsors, and community runners came together at the Westerville Sports Complex to celebrate the end of an incredible spring season.

The 5K is not just a finish line. It is a celebration of confidence, character, friendship, perseverance, and everything these boys worked toward over seven weeks.

More race-day memories, photos, and thank-yous are coming soon. For now, we simply want to say thank you to everyone who helped make SpringFest such a meaningful day for our boys.

Just because our Let Me Run spring season is over doesn’t mean the running, walking, and growing have to stop.

Happy Mother’s Day from Let Me Run Columbus! 💚

Today we celebrate the moms and mother figures who cheer the loudest, run the extra miles, hold the signs, give the hugs, and show our boys what strength, love, and support look like.

Strong boys. Strong moms. Stronger together.
