2FGR Presents the Run for Down Syndrome

About Our Race

The Run for Down Syndrome was started in 2009 by the running group 2FGR (Two Fat Guys Running), with the very modest goal to raise $5,000 in support of the Down syndrome community. Now going on its 17th year, the 2FGR Run for Down Syndrome donated nearly $600,000 in its first 16 years. Starting in 2025, the event benefits the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO) and Team Heart & Sole.

DSACO’s mission is to support families, promote community, and encourage a lifetime of opportunities for people with Down syndrome. Proceeds raised at this event support DSACO’s wide range of programs and services for people with Down syndrome, including Community Access Funds which allow people with Down syndrome access to participate in inclusive programs in the community, and other initiatives such as DSACO’s iCan Bike Camp and Golf Academy.

Team Heart & Sole’s mission is to provide inclusive opportunities for individuals with disabilities, their families and friends, to participate in endurance racing events across Ohio, while building authentic relationships through teamwork.
