Description

Thurber House and the Green Lawn Cemetery are partnering to celebrate the work of James Thurber and his dog Muggs. Join us for the people and dog friendly 5K run/walk to support the work of the Thurber House.

Run or walk among the 200 year old trees and 170 years of Columbus history at Green Lawn Cemetery - Ohio's second largest! Participants will also enjoy a special SNEAK PEAK of our newest art installation - a life-sized bronze of Muggs, The Dog Who Bit People, at the grave of writer James Thurber. This will be the first public showing of this statue sponsored by the Green Lawn Cemetery Foundation - the official unveiling isn't until the next morning! Leashed dogs are welcome to run with you - get a "selfie" of your "Muggs" and ours!  Proceeds will be split to support Thurber House and to pay for the statue's granite base.

This event will be chip timed with timing results posted to the registration site.

Early Registration ends on July 25th!
