The Juneteenth Walk and Run is a free, inclusive event held in Columbus, Ohio, at the Shepard Branch Library (850 N. Nelson Rd). Celebrating the Juneteenth Anniversary, it promotes freedom and healthy lifestyles through walking and running.

Participants can choose from three distances: a 1-mile route highlighting the Underground Railroad Marker, a 4-mile underground trail, or a 5K underground trail.
