Race for a Reason Raises Funds Through Five Events
Participants competed in five races at Ohio University in Athens as part of the 6th annual Race for a Reason benefiting about 50 causes. The event aimed to raise $125,000, below last year’s roughly $100,000, with 1,500 anticipated entrants despite cold, rainy morning conditions. The triathlon featured a 500 meter swim, 17 mile bike, and 5K run, while the Mud Run offered muddy obstacles ending with a 60 foot water slide.
