From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find indoor events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
We are pleased to invite you to be a part of our 18th annual Stroll for Epilepsy to be held on Saturday February 28th, 2025 at the Polaris Fashion Place. Join the Epilepsy Alliance Ohio as we raise awareness about epilepsy, while also raising needed funds for programs and services in the Columbus area. This family friendly event brings together children and adults living with epilepsy, their families, friends and supporters; and features an indoor walk through the mall whereby participants learn about epilepsy, have a chance to win prizes and support a great cause. We will also have a silent auction with some great baskets and items for any member of the family! Please Note: Due to the rising cost of shirts, we are adding an additional $5 to registration fees for shirts. Selecting a shirt size will add $5 to your registration fees. If you do not want a shirt, select none for shirt size. Purple shirt options are available for those with epilepsy!
There are a few ways you can support the Epilepsy Alliance and participate in this event! You can register for the event; register and create a social team to encourage your friends and family to participate as well; register and create a fundraising team to challenge yourself, family, and friends to help you raise funds for the EAO; donate to your favorite team or donate to the Epilepsy Alliance Ohio to help fund our vital programs and services. No donation is too small!
Epilepsy Alliance Ohio is dedicated to supporting those impacted by epilepsy in local communities by confronting the spectrum of challenges created by seizures. Epilepsy Alliance Ohio (new name same mission) has been in existence since 1953; we provide direct services to optimize each person's understanding of epilepsy and to improve their methods of coping with epilepsy.
This year's race will be held in the Recreational and Physical Activity Center (RPAC) at The Ohio State University on Sunday, April 19th, 2026. This will count as a USAT Collegiate Nationals qualifier. An indoor triathlon is based on time rather than distance, allowing all levels of ability the opportunity to compete! There will be a 10 minute swim in the indoor competition pool. Then there is a 15 minute transition that allows you to change into biking clothes/get situated at your stationary bike. The stationary bike ride will last 20 minutes. A 5 minute transition is then given to allow you enough time to get to the track. Concluding the race is a 15 minute run on our indoor track. Prizes will be given out to our winners.
Prizes: This years prizes include a Roka Wetsuit! The top male and top female finishers will each be awarded a certificate to purchase a wetsuit.
Race Wave Assignments: Subject to some exceptions, collegiate racers will race first, followed by open racers. Preliminary wave assignments will be posted on April 12th, 2026 and will be emailed out. Any registrations after April 12th will be placed in the last waves.
We will not be taking requests for specific wave placements.
Registration Deadline: While there is no official registration deadline, the race does have a maximum capacity. Please, keep this in mind.

Together we walk.
Together we Protect.
Together we can build a stronger, safer community for every child.
Join us in a movement that truly matters—Walk Together—a powerful stride toward ending child abuse and neglect. This is more than just a walk; it’s a heartfelt call to build a stronger, more loving community, ignite awareness, and rally support to protect our most vulnerable children.
On Sunday, April 26, 2026, during National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we come together at Polaris Fashion Place Mall to make a difference that will resonate far beyond that day.
This indoor gathering isn’t just about walking—it’s about hope, compassion, and standing united for children who deserve safety and love.
After our walk, celebrate with inspiring speakers, heartfelt awards, and moments of joy and solidarity.
Let’s come together to raise funds, share stories, and truly change lives—because every child deserves a safe, loving, and nurturing future.

Indoor Triathlon
Swim 10 Minutes in 25 yard pool (4 feet depth)
Bike 30 Minutes on stationary cycle
Run 20 Minutes on treadmill.
The combined time for the swim, bike and run is 60 minutes, plus two transitions. The first transition between the swim and bike is ten minutes and the second transition between the bike to run is five minutes. Each heat will have a maximum of 6 participants. Three lanes of the pool will be used, with two swimmers in each lane. After completing the swim segment participants will have a 10 minute transition time to change and move to the cycle room for the bike segment. The run segment is upstairs using the treadmills.
Each participant will have 10 minutes for the swim, 30 minutes on the bike, and 20 minutes for the run, with the allotted transitions between activities. Fun and pressure-free, this event is great for both experienced triathletes and those competing in their first race.
Participants must be at least 18 years old to participate in this race.
Relay Team option
As an alternative to an individual completing all three segments of the triathlon, a team of 2 or 3 can participate. The entry fee for a TEAM is $90.00. When registering a team, only one (1) person sets up the team, naming the team and pays the participation fee for the team. All team members must also register to provide your information and sign the waiver.
All three segments are done in sequence (swim, bike, run) and the distance (laps and miles) for each segment will be recorded. The results will be by total distance and by ranked scoring.
This event will benefit the OhioHealth Behavioral Medicine/Addiction Medicine Fellowship. All profits from the Tri McConnell will help with educating physicians in addressing the opioid epidemic. Some areas that physicians receive education in are: inpatient psychiatry, pregnant and postpartum women suffering from opioid use disorder, advocacy for changes in local, state and federal health policies, and hands on experience in outpatient recovery. Please see the Donation page to donate to this important and needed program. Your donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
