Kids' Gobbler Chase
The Kids' Gobbler Chase, which begins at 8:30am, is a short gallop (less than a quarter of a mile) for children ages 10 and under. Former Ohio State Buckeyes football players will start the race and parents are encouraged to participate and run with their kids. Each participant receives an Official Event T-shirt, Official Finisher's Medal and a "Hog Mollies" book courtesy of the 2nd & 7 Foundation, the official benefitting charity of the Flying Feather Four Miler.
Dick's Sporting Goods Gear Check is available on-site near the Info Tent. Gear Check will be open from 7 a.m.-11 a.m. All bags must be marked with your NAME, PHONE NUMBER and BIB NUMBER.
2nd & 7 Book Bank
The Flying Feather Four Miler benefits the 2nd & 7 Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Columbus whose mission is to promote reading by providing free books and positive role models to kids in need while encouraging young athletes of the community to pay it forward.
Started in 1999 by three former Ohio State University football players, Luke Fickell, Ryan Miller and Mike Vrabel, The 2nd & 7 Foundation connects student-athletes with 2nd graders to promote reading and provide books for each child. In the past 18 years, The 2nd & 7 Foundation has given out over 200,000 books in 19 states by partnering with 96 universities and high schools.
At the Flying Feather Four Miler packet pick up and race day, we will accept NEW and VERY GENTLY used K-6 books to be distributed to local classrooms throughout central Ohio.
