Kick start Homecoming festivities by participating in the third annual OHIO , organized by 91̽»¨â€™s Campus Recreation, at 8 a.m. on Oct. 12 at the 91̽»¨ Golf Course.

Open to all experience levels, the run starts at the golf course and takes students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members down the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway.  The entire course will be paved, so it will be accessible for participants with wheelchairs or strollers.

Early registration is open now through Sept. 29 and costs $15 for OHIO students, $20 for OHIO faculty, staff, alumni, and $25 for Athens community members. Registration costs increase by $5 after Sept. 30, and registration closes Oct. 12. Participants who register early will receive a free Homecoming 5K T-shirt.

Proceeds from the event go toward the Rita LaValley Student Support fund, which provides opportunities for student scholarships and professional development funding.
