About the Event

Sanctuary Night remains committed to offering trauma-informed care to women who are sexually exploited or at-risk of sexual exploitation. Our drop-in center on Sullivant Avenue continues to provide support for these women, many of whom are mothers, regardless of their custody status. In commemoration of these resilient women and to honor all mothers, we have chosen Mother's Day weekend for our annual 5K event.

Join us on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Genoa Park in downtown Columbus.

Columbus is the capital of the American state of Ohio and is located centrally within the state as the core of the Greater Columbus area. Sited in an area where the Rust Belt, Bible Belt, Appalachia, and the Farm Belt meet, Columbus is a fusion of many different parts of America. It is the home of the Ohio State University. The combination of Ohio Government and the Ohio State University has fueled amazing growth both financially and physically in Columbus. It has created a business and research environment that has provided substantial employment opportunities to the diverse ethnic and local graduates of the Ohio State University, and other academic institutions in Columbus. The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), is projected to be one of the top 50 supercomputers in the world and among the top 10 supercomputing academic centers. It also ranked number 1 on About.com's list of the United States' Most Underrated Gay Cities.
