The USO of Central and Southern Ohio is determined to continue to support the military during this critical time. Join in a Virtual 5K to get a little exercise and support the USO. Pick a time and place that is convenient for you. Run, walk, row or climb steps. You can do this on your own, with your family, with a friend or even with your dog! Just remember to “social distance.”

The USO is encouraging everyone to do this virtual run on April 25. However, you can choose a date that is most convenient for you. Remember to wear your patriotic shirt, take pictures or videos and share to the USO’s social media with #usoruns4heroes. Feel free to share your time, if you wish, especially if you have a personal record (PR).
