Description
The 2024 Pharmathon 5K Run/Walk has both in-person and virtual options so you can choose the way you'd prefer to participate. For those who prefer the in-person race experience, please join us at 10 AM on Sunday, April 28, 2024, at The Ohio State University RPAC (337 West 17th Ave 43210) for a 5K or 1.5-mile trek around the university.
Our 2024 virtual experience will also take place on April 28. Virtual materials will be mailed prior to the event as long as your registration is completed by April 15 (virtual registrations after this date may have materials arrive after the virtual event date, though you will have everything you need to complete the virtual event on April 28 emailed to you).
What is the Ohio State University Pharmacy Alumni Society Pharmathon 5K?
A 3.1 or 1.5-mile run/walk to promote health, wellness, and provide education on prescription drug misuse and prevention. This event was established in 2015 through a collaborative effort amongst the Pharmacy Alumni Society Governing Board and the College of Pharmacy Students. The event is put on with assistance from the Columbus Running Company, a locally-owned running specialty retailer. Funds raised will be used to promote awareness and education on safe medication-taking practices through the Pharmacy Alumni Society Governing Board and the College of Pharmacy Generation Rx program.
Please note: Children aged 1-12 will have their discount registration price of $15 ($20 after March 31) automatically applied at checkout based on their age.
