Ohio State Spring Game and 4-Miler
Catch the Buckeye’s annual public scrimmage this year at noon on Saturday. Team Scarlet will face off against Team Gray and the house will be filled with students and die-hard fans, and past players and coaches are always known to make an appearance. Players will be fighting to climb the depth charts, making this the perfect way to see some football to hold you over until the team is back in the fall.
The Ohio State 4-miler will follow on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. The trek finishes at the 50 yard line, where runners will be greeted by current players and alum, such as Bobby Carpenter, Zach Boren, Tyvis Powell, J.T. Tuimoloau, Kyle McCord and many more. Participate to earn a stadium finisher’s medal and a shirt from Nike.
