What is the Virtual Ohio State 4 Miler and how does it work?

The Virtual Ohio State 4 Miler is your chance to participate in the Ohio State 4 Miler if you cannot make it to Ohio Stadium on April 13, 2025.

The rules for the Ohio State 4 Miler are simple. Sign up for the event and run your four miles anywhere at anytime after April 13, 2025. Then upload your results and download your Finisher's Certificate (see below for more information)

Virtual Ohio State 4 Miler participants receive the same shirt, medal and race bib as those in the in-person Ohio State 4 Miler.

How / When do I get my packet?

All Virtual Ohio State 4 Miler packets will be mailed the week of April 1 to the address provided during registration. Be sure to register by March 22, 2025 to ensure your packet reaches you in time for the Virtual Ohio State 4 Miler. Participants who register after March 22, 2205 will still be mailed a packet, but it may not arrive by April 13.


What do I do when I finish my run / walk?

Once you have finished your virtual run you can log in to your EnMotive account beginning April 15 and log your results.
