Thanksgiving is a day for Turkey Trots, lots of homecooked food, family, and football. And maybe a nap. And then comes Friday... leftovers galore. You'll be eating turkey and mashed potatoes in various forms for days!

As runners, we all have plenty of clothing and shoes that are "leftover" from prior seasons or no longer see the wear we thought they would.

And lastly, as race directors (okay, maybe that's just us!) we always have extra shirts and medals when a race is completed. We've accumulated a lot of "leftover" swag over the years and we thought we might do something fun before we make a donation to help those in need. So we came up with the Leftover Run and we're asking for your help.

The Leftover Run?

Yes! This race takes place on Black Friday at the Dublin Recreation Center. The concept is pretty basic: we have leftover race shirts and medals from events over the past few years. You pay $20 to participate in the Leftover Run and you'll get a race shirt in your indicated size and a medal. Runners and walkers are welcome. Simple!

You said you can use my help, how does that work?

This race supports the Columbus Running Company Charity Fund. The Columbus Running Company Charity Fund is a 501c3 organization that evolved from our mission to benefit both the running and local communities. The CRC Charity Fund focuses its efforts on youth running participation through scholarships to the Grasshoppers Running Club and providing discounted race timing and logistics support to a small number of approved 501c3 races that have both the athlete and charity in mind. Support the CRC Charity Fund via the event's DONATE page, you can donate during your event registration or separately using the button at the top of the page.

Thank you for your generosity!
