The Organizing Committee of the New Albany Charity Run is excited to announce the New Albany Thanks For Giving 4 Miler and kids run! The fun will begin at Market Square in New Albany on Thanksgiving Day.
We are very excited to build on the success of the past nine years and to benefit the great local organizations in 2024; The Mid-Ohio Food Collective, Life Care Alliance and The New Albany Thanksgiving Day fund at the New Albany Community Foundation.
All are welcome, including competitive runners, joggers, walkers and strollers wanting to enjoy time with friends and loved ones before celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday. We hope this event provides the opportunity to gather with the community to raise funds and awareness for our beneficiaries.
All donated canned goods during race week go directly to the New Albany Food Pantry.
The Cause
100% of the net proceeds will be donated to three local non-profit organizations; LifeCare Alliance, the Mid-Ohio Foodbank and The New Albany Thanksgiving Day fund at the New Albany Community Foundation. Both 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?

Cost
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. 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.
