COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Tens of thousands of Central Ohioans gathered in downtown Columbus Saturday for the 17th Komen Columbus Race for the Cure.
A record-setting 45,546 people registered for the race, breaking the 2008 record of 40,266.
This year's race was expected to raise $2 million for breast cancer research. Since the race began in Columbus in 1993, the event has raised nearly $13 million.
Komen Columbus Executive Director Katie Carter said the Columbus race is the eighth largest Komen event in the country, ahead of cities such as Chicago and Philadelphia.
