What is Operation Ohio?
Operation Ohio is a group or self-challenging program that promotes stamina, good physical, spiritual, & mental health, with community along the Ohio to Erie Trail. A four day camp, and skate from Columbus going south to Cincinnati (or the other way around). Inspired by friends and mental health awareness, we want to challenge the community to join us on the journey and discover the wellness this brings, as we roll along the trail system. Let your body and mind explore the ride! Whether you are searching for a new skill, need a mental break or are a lover of distance, we highly encourage your participation in any way.
Self care ⬌ Challenge yourself ⬌ Discover strengths ⬌ Nurture in community ⬌ Indulge in Nature
All Wheels and Levels Welcomed!
