Jack Roth 5K Rock'N'Run/Walk

Welcome to the 14th annual Jack Roth 5K Rock'N'Run/Walk! We are pleased to announce this year's honorary race chair is Matt Barnes, morning co-anchor of NBC4 Today. Not only is Matt a native of Columbus, a proud graduate from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at The Ohio University, but he is also an avid volunteer and is extremely grateful for the opportunity to share people’s unique stories through his work on television.   

2018 was another fantastic record year in fundraising, bringing our total over the last 13 years to more than $1,350,000. The Jack Roth Fund was created to promote the vital research and treatment necessary to combat lung cancer through The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) and to support Jack Roth Camp Netaim, a program in Israel for children with special needs. The race will take runners and walkers through central Bexley's beautiful neighborhoods, and include a fun-filled morning with:

Food, music, awards, and drawing prizes! The Dave Gill Chevrolet complimentary food, fun and fitness marketplace featuring local food, health and wellness vendors. Kids activities: face painting, balloon making, glitter tattoos, braid bar & bouncy house. Max’s Track Dash for Kids in support of Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).
