Lace up for an impactful evening at the 2FGR Run for Inclusion, set for Thursday, May 21, 2026, in Dublin, Ohio. This celebrated event offers distances for every runner, including a 100M Kids Race, a 3K, 5K, and a 10K, ensuring a welcoming experience for all ages and abilities. Now in its 17th year, the race was founded in 2009 by the running group 2FGR ("Two Fat Guys Running") with a modest goal of raising $5,000. It has since grown significantly, donating nearly $600,000 to the Down syndrome community in its first 16 years, with proceeds benefiting Team Heart & Sole and the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO).
The 2FGR Run for Inclusion is more than just a race; it's a powerful demonstration of community support, renowned for its inclusive atmosphere. The festivities kick off with a Kids Race at 6:50 PM, followed by the main events at 7:00 PM. The start and finish line activities, centered at 6000 Perimeter Drive, Dublin, OH, promise a lively experience with inflatable bounce houses, post-race food, and music for the entire family. This event provides inclusive opportunities for individuals with disabilities, their families, and friends to participate in endurance racing.
Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 76°F and lows near 54°F, accompanied by a 16% chance of precipitation, creating comfortable running weather. Participants will also receive a high-quality race t-shirt, swag items in their race packet, and a custom finisher's medal, making it a memorable event that truly makes every stride count for an incredible cause.
