Kicks for Kids 5K

Charge up those running shoes because it's time for the exhilarating 3rd Annual Kicks for Kids 5K! Hosted by The Running Outreach Initiative and Buckeyes for Public Health, this event is set to spark your spirit on a scenic route through The Ohio State University campus. Picture this: you're racing through the iconic Oval, crossing the finish line with Ohio Stadium towering over you, and all the while, the legendary Brutus Buckeye cheers you on!

Not only does your registration get you a spot in the 5K or the 1-mile fun run/walk, but also piles of freebies like a race T-shirt (hurry before they’re all snapped up!), a raffle ticket, a chip-timed race bib, snazzy photo ops with Brutus, a finisher's medal, and plenty of snacks to refuel. Plus, you're competing for pride and prizes, with gift cards to local businesses on the line.

Every stride you take helps The Running Outreach Initiative provide invaluable running shoes to young athletes. So, tie those laces tight and join us for a day of health, camaraderie, and community impact!
