We will be out on Thanksgiving morning collecting donations for those in need! We will be recognizing our amazing sponsors - and may even have some pies and giveaways for those who come out to donate! Our goal has always been to feed as many families in Central Ohio as we can – and that has not changed! You can help! You can help by participating in our event, spreading the word on what we do, by making a donation. You decide on the donation and can feel great knowing that 100% of what you give will go directly to those in need. All registration for this race will be done online, so if you plan to register at early packet pickup or on race day, please plan to bring your smartphone with you! We HIGHLY recommend registering PRIOR to race morning in order to avoid long lines! ​The Fee Our race is all about family, giving back, and having fun. There is no official race fee. You can give as much or as little as you want. However – a $40 minimum donation is required in order to get our amazingly soft t-shirt. When you get to the t-shirt selection page of the registration process, you will have the option to select "No shirt" for free, or if you would like to get a shirt, you can select a shirt in the size that you want for $40. Also, if you would like to make any additional donation on top of the $40 for each shirt, you can do so on the donation page of the registration process. Our goal is to feed as many families in Central Ohio as we can – and you can help. You can help by running our race, spreading the word, and by making a donation. You decide on the donation – and how many meals you want to provide. Let’s make a difference. The Cause 100% of the net proceeds will be donated to three local non-profit organizations; The Mid-Ohio Foodbank , Life Care Alliance and The New Albany Thanksgiving Day fund at the New Albany Community Foundation . All food donations go directly to the New Albany Food Pantry . All are great organizations, with staff and volunteers who work hard every day to make New Albany and Central Ohio a better place to live and work. How far will your dollar go?
