Running in Cowtown

From the Olentangy Trail and Antrim Park to downtown paths and races, Columbus offers a variety of paths for its runners.

Columbus hosted a Hot Chocolate 5K and 15K, with proceeds benefiting Ronald McDonald House. The race started at High and State Street downtown. The 5K race path took runners thought downtown, past the Convention Center, around Goodale Park and the North Market. Racers ran their final mile along the Scioto River and the Scioto Mile Park before crossing the finish line near the Columbus Commons park.

Abby and her sister-in-law await the start of the Hot Chocolate 5K

Finishers of the race warmed up with hot chocolate, fondue, music, carousel rides, and  bounce houses at the after-party in Columbus Commons!

COSI - Science Discovery and Fun for all Ages

This fall, COSI is featuring LEGO Castle Adventure. Visitors can explore the world of castles, knights, and dragons in the LEGO exhibit. Different sized building blocks offer children of all ages the opportunity to explore with the building blocks. Visitors have the opportunity to dress up as knights or princesses and to take their try at jousting. The exhibit is open at COSI until January 13, 2013.

Ryan enjoyed building towers in the LEGO Building area, but he liked tearing down his tower even more!

 Emma and her dad both enjoyed exploring in Little KidSpace - an area designed especially for younger guests and their families. Emma is taking on the role of doctor while Dad checks out the color plates (he's color blind, so he can't tell the difference!).

If you're planning to visit COSI this fall or winter, you'll want to visit the Holiday Lights Show, a live show about the science of holiday lighting,  and the Body Worlds and the Brain, a traveling exhibit featuring preserved human specimens highlighting neuroscience, brain development, and performance.

Be sure to check out www.cosi.org and the COSI Facebook page for information on Schools Out Camps, Family Friday Nights, and other events.
