Brooke Duering will travel 4,267 miles by air one way to travel 13.1 miles by foot.
Duering and her husband, Alex, live in Dusseldorf, Germany.
Her parents, Gary Nienaber and Jan Nugent, live in Columbus.
Brooke Duering already had planned to visit Columbus this fall, so she will include running in the Sept. 28 Mill Race Marathon on her visit?s to-do list.
She?s arriving with a friend.
Duering, 32, has been running for more than 10 years and has completed five half-marathons in Indianapolis and Chicago.
?I am very pleased to see Columbus hosting such events and am glad that I am able to support it by participating,? Duering said.
A 1999 Columbus North High School graduate, Duering was working as a social worker in a physical rehabilitation hospital in Chicago before moving to Germany with her husband for his job. They have a year-old son, Heinrich.
This summer, she has been running and biking several times a week, enjoying the European countryside while gradually increasing her mileage.
?Germany has an excellent system of pedestrian trails, so I can always find a part of the city or nature to explore,? she said.
