The OhioHealth O'Bleness Hospital is teaming up with the Ohio University Sports Administration Program and Athletes in Action to host the 5th annual OhioHealth O'Bleness Hospital Race For a Reason on April 23rd. Last year over 1,200 people participated in one of the four events and the race raised a total of over $100,000 for the 100+ charities, non-profits, and student organizations that used the race to help meet their fund raising goals. Each participant is encouraged to "race for his or her own reason" by raising funds through pledges. This year our goal is to raise $125,000 and host over 1,500 race participants. With OHIO student organizations, clubs, fraternities, sororities and additional community organizations involved, it will be possible to increase awareness for a variety of "reasons" with personal meaning to members of the Athens community. This event is the only one of its kind, as it combines the competition of racing with the compassion of community awareness. No other event in Athens has four individual races working simultaneously to promote philanthropy, health and wellness, and fun.

The bike route takes competitors out of town on a challenging course before returning to campus to complete a 5k run. Finish at the new Walter Field House and enjoy Fitness Fest's post race awards, food, and concert.
