Event Information

Come join us for the inaugural Jog For Jazz presented by AEP, part of the 3 day Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival! Following the race enjoy the afternoon at the Festival which opens at 11.

Registration for the Jog will begin at 9 a.m. The 5K run will begin at 10 a.m. (with the 5K walk beginning at 10:05 a.m.) in downtown Olde Gahanna, at the intersection of Mill and Walnut Streets. Paid parking is available in the public garage located in the new Creekside development.

The race path will return you to the heart of the Festival, where you will arrive just as the Festival kicks off its final day of great music and food. All race participants will receive a free T-shirt, and post race food and beverages will be provided. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 finishers in both Adult (18 and over) Men and Women categories, and in Young Adult (under 18) Boys and Girls categories.

Following the race, enjoy the afternoon as you relax by the Creekside waterfront and listen to sounds of celebrated blues and jazz musicians. Or, join us for our inaugural Jazz Brunch (which includes a private performance by local jazz musicians) and then stick around for a special performance by the Columbus Youth Jazz Orchestra on the Jazz Stage at 12:30 p.m., followed by the Columbus Jazz Orchestra at 3 p.m. (For more information on the Festival, which runs Friday, June 20 through Sunday, June 22, or the Jazz Brunch, please visit www.gahannaevents.com or call 478-0878.) 100% of the net proceeds from the Jog for Jazz and the Jazz Brunch will support the Festival.
