Kicks for Kids 5K: Lace Up for Change

OSU student organization Buckeyes for Public Health is hosting their inaugural 5K! Competitive and noncompetitive runners alike are welcome to join us on Sunday, April 7th for some family friendly fun! Participants will have the opportunity to earn prizes, make new friends, and raise money for underprivileged grade school athletes in the community. Times will be collected by hand and uploaded to this page and to https://www.runningoutreach.org/ where more information about the cause is available.

Sign-in, along with the start/finish line, will be located outside the Bike Hub near the fields by the RPAC, with parking space available in the stadium parking lot. Sign-in will open at 12:00pm, with one of the youth running program coaches from The Running Outreach Initiative leading a pre-race warmup at 1:00pm.
