More than 15,000 runners and walkers took part in the sold-out Nationwide Children’s Hospital Columbus Marathon and Half Marathon on Oct. 18, 2026, with photos capturing the start, course and finish. The 46th annual event ties its course to young patients: 24 miles honor children receiving care at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, alongside an inspirational mile and an alumni mile. The race has raised more than $15 million for the hospital since 2012, including over $1.4 million in 2025. Among the participants was Mike Ray, who returned to running after years of cancer treatment and set a personal goal of finishing; Brynn Fraser, a former patient, cheered runners as a mile champion in gratitude to the hospital.

Minnesota Voters to Decide School-Funding Increase

Minnesota voters will decide whether to amend the state constitution to increase annual distributions from the Permanent School Fund to public and charter schools, raising the rate from about 2.5% to 4.5%. Supporters say the change would provide schools with more funding without increasing individual income or property taxes; leaving the ballot question blank counts as a no vote.

North Carolina’s early-voting turnout is running nearly 48% above the comparable point in 2022, with voters citing the economy, health care, education, immigration, social rights and other concerns.
