This year, we gave special recognition to the inspiration for our event, Team Hoyt, as Dick Hoyt passed away in March.
We encourage participants and bystanders to complete an act of kindness or community service and post a picture to Columbus Community Hospital's
Facebook page, using #TeamHoyt.

Also this year, we took a moment to honor the solemn 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Precisely at the time of our event 20 years ago, our nation was under attack, and many innocent Americans and first-responder heroes lost their lives that fateful day. Our nation became unified under our flag and principles, counting on faith and inclusion under God and the American spirit to overcome attacks on our freedom and way of life.
The We Can Run, Walk & Roll event is designed to eliminate barriers of physical disabilities and allow competitors of all levels and abilities to race together. The event's goal is to promote community wellness while providing a race that is for everyone – from beginners to competitive runners, joggers and walkers. People using wheelchairs also have the opportunity to compete in the event individually or with the assistance of a team of up to three pushers.
Participants can choose to compete in a 5K (3.1 miles) or 1-mile race in Columbus’ Pawnee Park. Both races conclude in Pawnee Park’s Memorial Stadium, where top finishers in several categories receive awards.
Proceeds from the event will help purchase AmTrykes
® for individuals and families in our community. AmTrykes
® are adaptive tricycles that allow differently-abled kids and adults to participate more fully in health and wellness activities.
Since the first event in 2011, We Can RW&R events have funded the purchase of more than 60 AmTrykes
®. Proceeds from the event also supported a fundraising effort for a barrier-free playground in our community at Lost Creek Elementary School. For more information on the event, visit our
