Trails and Tails Virtual 5k

The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Society is excited to announce the 2026 Trails and Tails Virtual 5k run/walk event.  The 5k virtual event will allow alumni to stay connected to fellow alumni and friends around the world by providing an active, inclusive event and a sense of community. As a participant, you will be able to share/post a picture of yourself and/or a picture of your favorite spot to visit. All proceeds will go towards the College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Scholarship Fund.
