Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to participate in the 'Stuff The Bus' food drive before the races begin, and consider bringing non-perishable items to support the New Albany Food Pantry.
- If aiming to receive a participant shirt, ensure your contributions total $40 or more when registering, as this is the threshold for the special apparel.
- Check the event website for specific age group categories and award details for the 4-Miler to see if you qualify for prizes.
- Since the event is chip-timed, focus on enjoying the run and your contribution to charity, knowing your accurate time will be recorded.
- Dress in layers suitable for a late November morning in New Albany, as the event takes place outdoors on Thanksgiving Day.
