Your nose will be red on Saturday morning…

Red Nose Run logoSince your nose will be red anyway if you head out this coming Saturday morning (the current forecast is calling for lows near 30°), maybe you should sign up for this year’s Red Nose Run benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Alabama.

The 7th edition of the race will double as the Southern Region RRCA 10 Mile Championship (but don’t worry – you have the option of just doing the 5K route).

We’re thinking the long-sleeve t-shirts and the earwarmers provided to participants should be enough to get folks out for this worthy cause. These tips on how to approach running in the cold should be helpful too. Or you could just sleep in and donate and not go out (but it probably wouldn’t be as much fun).

OK, how about the discount rate for registering via active.com before Friday evening? There’s always being one of the volunteers on race day too…

Keep your eyes open tomorrow morning

Especially if you’re anywhere near the official race route for the 4th annual Red Nose Run. Christina talks about this year’s race over on Timetable, but we figured that you’d be interested in knowing what streets you might run into delays on tomorrow morning.

So basically, if you think you’re going to be near the area between 2nd and 4th Avenues South and 16th and 32nd Streets South tomorrow morning. You could also just check out this cool map that visualizes it for you…

We just figured you’d like to know. The race starts at 7 a.m. and there is a 10 miler involved…
