The Gallop & Gorge 8K, the last event in the Le Tour de Carrboro race series, is set for 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 27. The race will start and finish on Weaver Street in downtown Carrboro, and drivers should expect traffic delays in that area.
During the event, participants and spectators are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for donation to the Interfaith Council Food Pantry. Collection boxes will be available at the site.
The race’s organizers invite community members to “grab a cup of coffee, some non-perishable items to donate, and come out to cheer on the runners before you begin your Thanksgiving festivities at home.”
This year’s community partners include Carrboro Boy Scout Troop 845, Carrboro Family Garden, Meals on Wheels of Orange County, Optimist Club of Chapel Hill, Orange County Rape Crisis Center, Table, and UNC Get Real & Heel Cancer Exercise Program.
