For those who prefer the in-person race experience, please join us at 10 AM on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at The Ohio State University RPAC (337 West 17th Ave 43210) for a 5K or 1.5-mile trek around the university.

Our 2026 virtual experience will also take place on April 26.

What is the Ohio State University Pharmacy Alumni Society Pharmathon 5K?

A 3.1 Timed Run/Walk or 1.5-mile Untimed 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 3-12 will have their discount registration price of $10 through February 28 ($15 after March 1) automatically applied at checkout based on their age.
