Marathon

The Columbus Marathon began in 1980 and participants ran through Clintonville during its first three years. Runners ran north on Kenny to Henderson, over to the bicycle path then south to Piedmont, east on Piedmont to Calumet, then south toward campus.

    Wow! Bob Koch was my biology teacher and track coach at Linden McKinley High School (class of ’83). He always was a great marathoner, too, as well as one of my favorite teachers of all.

    He still is a great marathoner! He continues to run the Columbus Marathon every year.
