From the Organizer
We invite you to join Central Ohio Primary Care for our "Run For The Health Of It" – a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile walk, happening on Monday, September 7, 2026. This fun, family-friendly event will take place at the Westerville Sports Complex, with participants enjoying the beautiful biking and running trails that surround the area.
For the past 15 years, Central Ohio Primary Care has hosted this event in support of the COPC Foundation, our nonprofit charitable foundation dedicated to improving the health and well-being of underserved populations throughout central Ohio. Every dollar raised benefits local organizations and community initiatives, and together we've granted nearly $1 million to causes making a lasting difference in the lives of our neighbors.
Come be part of a great cause, enjoy the outdoors, and help make a difference in the lives of others!
