Charity, donations and race features
The event partners with North Kent Connect to raise funds and collect food for local needs. In 2024 the event reported $2,400 raised, 1,000 lbs of frozen turkey, and 1,100 canned goods collected. Donations affect official finish times: each boxed or canned good donated reduces a finish time by 30 seconds; each pound of frozen turkey donated reduces a finish time by 1 minute.
Finishers may choose a shirt and medal from the event organizer’s collection of leftover items. Every chosen medal is accompanied by a custom ribbon slider medal with the Leftover Run logo. The posted 5k course record time is 27:37. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
