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 [https://www.columbusrunning.com/], 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 March 31 ($15 after April 1) automatically applied at checkout based on their age.
