The TBDBITL 5K starts at midnight on July 18, 2026, so plan your travel and pre-race routine accordingly if you're coming from out of town. The 5K takes place in Columbus, Ohio, at 1847 Neil Ave, a central location that should be straightforward to reach. Entry fees run between $35 and $40. This midnight start is unconventional for running events, so confirm logistics with the race organizers before booking your hotel. You'll want accommodation close enough to the venue to manage the late-night timing and early recovery afterward.

From the Race Organizer
The 8th Annual TBDBITL 5K sponsored by Tau Beta Sigma is taking place on July 18 at Ohio State University on campus near the stadium! This event is designed to strengthen cardio for marching band tryouts, promote TBDBITL, and support our local high school marching bands. This race is open to everyone of all ages, not just students! For those joining us in-person, please join us for a Script Ohio at the end of the race! If you cannot join us on race day and would still like to support our cause, we are offering a virtual 5K run/walk option. Participants in the virtual 5K run/walk have the option to submit results right here on the race website (results tab) between July 18 and August 2. The race is run fully by volunteers from the Tau Beta Sigma and Kappa Kappa Psi chapters at Ohio State.
