Organizers have announced today the Mill Race Marathon is planning an in-person race on Sept. 25 this year in Columbus, as they continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic situation.

Marathon organizers are also announcing some updates to the event, including bumping up the excitement at the Finish on 4th by offering every finisher a free beer to celebrate, or a non-alcoholic beverage of choice for those under 21 and for those who prefer a different post-race beverage.

Female runners who are among the first 300 to sign up will receive a training tank top as part of their registration.

And new course maps for the marathon will be released soon.
