Kick-Off: March 28, 2021

On the first day that our virtual run begins, we will host a kick-off via Zoom where all registered participants can join to hear various speakers/professionals talk about brain injury, NeuroNights, and our 5K. We will also have special presentations from brain injury survivors, and this year we will be presenting our first annual Mark Minister Award!

Submitting Your Race Results:

You may use any run-tracking app (free/paid), however, it must at a minimum include overall run distance, overall run time, and your run date. Closer to the start of the race opening, we will provide you with a Google Form to submit your results, which will require a screenshot of your run data, your age, and your gender.

While all participants are eligible to receive a kit if they register by the deadlines, you may select to donate the cost of your kit and receive $5 off of the registration price. Shipping is included and offered to all registrants that elect to receive a kit, however, there will be a socially-distanced pick-up option for those that are local to the Ohio State campus area and would prefer to pick-up their kit.
