💖 Community Support

Race entry fees and raffle tickets will support the causes of our organization.

• The Running Outreach Initiative: is an OSU student-led non-profit whose mission is to enrich the lives of elementary and middle school students through the power of running.
• Community Contribution: TROI wants to give back to the schools so graciously allowing us to host running programs there.
• Donation Recipients: thus we are donating our half of race revenue to Graham Elementary & Middle School and North Columbus Preparatory Academy!
