Runners and sponsors have raised more than $9,000 for local charities the last two years, and by incorporating a food drive component to this year's race, organizers are hoping to draw in even more Ardmore neighbors.

"Ardmore residents have a true sense of community and generosity, and we're hoping that will translate into overflowing bins of nonperishable foods," said Julie Mullen, co-director, Ardmore 5K. "We'll have collection bins at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on Miller Street and at several of our sponsors' locations leading up to the race."

Besides helping local families in need who could not otherwise afford a warm meal, runners compete for more than 70 prize categories and the top three male and female overall runners split more than $2,300 in prizes, which are donated by local businesses.
