'Nearly Naked Mile' Slated for October 24th

MSU

Morehead State University’s Student Alumni Ambassadors will host the seventh annual “Nearly Naked Mile” on Thursday, Oct. 24, in partnership with MSU’s Center for Regional Engagement, Alumni Association and Holbrook’s Embroidery Plus. 

The one-mile charity run will begin outside of the Academic-Athletic Center (AAC) on the MSU campus, following Head Hysteria. Registration will begin at 8:30 p.m. with the race at 9 p.m. 

As this year’s National Make a Difference Day Project, the “Nearly Naked Mile” is a coat drive benefit event for Rowan County Schools Family Resource and Youth Service Centers. Faculty, staff, students and community members are encouraged to donate new or unwanted coats for distribution. 

Coats can be dropped off at 358 University Street or donated on the evening of the event. 

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

Prizes for the event will be awarded to first, second and third place finishers, a 110 percent participation award, as well as the most creative costume and the “Nearly Naked” spirit award. 

In last year’s run, more than 120 runners participated in the charity event with more than 150 coats collected. 

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