Columbus Aruna Run

Sat 14th June 2025

A diverse group of runners is starting a race, passing under a banner that reads "START" and "Run For Her Freedom." The street is filled with participants in athletic gear, energetic and focused. A group of runners smile and pose together outdoors before a race, wearing numbered bibs and athletic gear. Some wear matching “Aruna” T-shirts, and the weather is sunny with green trees in the background. A red vertical flag with the word "RUN" written in large white script letters stands outdoors at an event, with people, tents, and bright sunlight in the background. An adult pins a race bib with the number 819 to a child’s green shirt before a 5K run. The child looks down at the bib, and both are outdoors with greenery in the background. Three young men wearing race bibs and athletic clothing stand close together, smiling with their arms around each other at an outdoor running event. A tent and other participants are visible in the background. Five smiling young adults stand together under a red, white, and gray balloon arch, wearing running gear and race bibs. Behind them is a large banner with text and an image of a person’s face.
