Wizard World is one of the largest comicons held in Central Ohio.

Wizard did an amazing job this year of honoring our local Ohio military members by having stars like James Marsters(Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Nicholas Brenden (Zander from Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner from The X-Files) introduce each local hero and give a background summary.

We thought the presentation was a fantastic and classy way to kick off the weekend!

These custom shields were such a trophy, a few of the stars pretended they were going to run off with one!  :D

Each soldier was given a replica Captain America shield, with a personalized engraving.

James Marsters reads over the bio of the soldier he will introduce.

This was a great event with many teams coming in to support the cause.  Everyone was upbeat and positive, cheering on their teammates when they needed that little bit extra to keep going.

After the teams finished, a breakfast was provided and the times were calculated.  First through third place times were awarded medals as well as some other prizes.
