The starter pistol went off before the sun had risen, and runners pounded the Columbus pavement early Sunday. For three years running, the marathon has raised more than $1 million for Nationwide Children’s Hospital (its official namesake). Patients lined each mile, encouraging runners to finish their 26.2 miles. Meshack Kirwa of Kenya won the Columbus Marathon with a time of 2:18:17.
