Support GEO with $5 for a 5K — Design your own event!
We know you’re ready to get outdoors and enjoy fresh air and exercise. Here’s a great way to celebrate Earth Day and support Green Energy Ohio at the same time!
Go whenever you want…
As long as it’s during the month of April.
Go wherever you want…
in your neighborhood, a nearby park, a college campus, or a bike trail. That’s the great part of this adventure! There are so many options throughout Ohio, starting with your neighborhood, a nearby park, a college campus, or a bike trail. Check out the Rails to Trails Conservancy map of Ohio or use the DETOUR app from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Go solo or explore with friends & family…
Celebrate the sense of community that Earth Day represents.
What we do in our everyday lives affects the health of the Earth, and the health of the Earth affects every aspect of our existence.
There is no better time than Earth Day to honor that relationship!
History of GEO’s Earth Day 5k
In 2021, GEO hosted our First Annual Earth Day Virtual 5K Run, Walk, or Bike. We designed the event as a Covid-friendly way of exploring the outdoors and celebrating Earth Day. We decided to continue the virtual format because it allows GEO friends and supporters throughout the state to join in the fun.
For the past three years, we have continued the virtual format recognizing that it allowed us to include GEO friends and supporters throughout the state. We also continued our theme of “Healthy Me, Healthy Earth” – promoting our own healthy habits and the health of the natural world around us.
