MSU to host the Nearly Naked Mile run on Tuesday

November 15, 2009 @ 01:49 PM

MOREHEAD, Ky. — Morehead State University’s Student Alumni Ambassadors will host the third annual “Nearly Naked Mile” on Tuesday, Nov. 17.

The one-mile charity run will begin on the lawn of the Adron Doran University Center on the MSU campus. The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with registration.

The “Nearly Naked Mile” is a coat drive benefit event for families in the Morehead community. Faculty, staff, students and community members are encouraged to donate new or unwanted coats, which will be given to Christian Social Services in Morehead for distribution.

Coats can be dropped off at the MSU Alumni Center. They also can be donated on the evening of the event.

Participants in the “Nearly Naked Mile” can come dressed in costume or in comfortable running clothes. Popcorn and hot chocolate will be provided.

Prizes for the event will be awarded to first, second and third place finishers, as well as the most creative costume and the “Nearly Naked” award.

In last year’s run, 50 runners participated in the one-mile run for charity. In addition, more than 100 coats were collected.

More information on the “Nearly Naked Mile” is available by calling MSU’s Office of Alumni Relations and Constituent Relations at (606) 783-2080.
