Description

The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Society is excited to announce the 2025 Trails and Tails Virtual 5k run/walk event.  The 5k virtual event will allow alumni to stay connected to fellow alumni and friends around the world by providing an active, inclusive event and a sense of community. As a participant, you will be able to share/post a picture of yourself and/or a picture of your favorite spot to visit. All proceeds will go towards the College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Scholarship Fund.

After you register, you will have a two week duration from June 15 – 29 to complete your 5k.  You can run it, walk it or jog it!  When completed, you can submit your time through the RaceJoy app or if you don't have your phone, simply enter your time through this website.  Don't forget to get a selfie of yourself, your group and the location where you are running or walking.  We want to see some great photos.  You can upload your pics through this website, just go to the photos tab in the menu.
