Partnering with Nationwide Children\u2019s Hospital Marathon and Dresden Sister City, the Sister City Marathon Exchange has been taking place since 2012. This program is intended to promote international exchange by sending local runners to represent Columbus as Cultural Ambassadors to run a half or full marathon in either the Dresden, Germany; Hefei, China; or Curitiba, Brazil.<\/p>\n

This program offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience to Greater Columbus residents to represent our city as a cultural ambassador in a foreign country and create meaningful, lasting connections. If selected for this opportunity, free race entry, homestay with a local host family, transportation on marathon weekend will be provided.<\/p>\n

Five runners are also invited from Dresden, Hefei and Curitiba to participate in the Nationwide Children\u2019s Hospital Marathon each year.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.4.5″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/columbussistercities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/german_flag-1-300×190.png” title_text=”german_flag” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.4.5″ module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”|0px|||false|false”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.4.5″ background_image=”https:\/\/columbussistercities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/world_map_-copy.png” custom_margin=”69px|||||” animation_style=”zoom” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_color=”#dddddd” box_shadow_position=”inner”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.5″ background_enable_color=”off”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.5″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.4.5″ header_font=”Merriweather||||||||” header_font_size=”35px”]<\/p>\n
