running in Columbus? Columbus is one of the best places to run because of its moderately cool climate and its amazing sights. not to mention the unique stores to stop to get a bite to eat while on a run. Columbus is one of the biggest running city's because of its next to perfect bike trails going for over 20 miles making the perfect venue for running along the Scioto river. The running community is as nice as it will get, every one is very supportive. I love Columbus running!
