2nd & 7

GIVE BACK THIS THANKSGIVING WITH THE FLYING FEATHER FOUR MILER!

We are proud to support 2nd & 7 and give back to their Columbus Kids' Book Bank this holiday season! 

A portion of every registration directly benefits 2nd & 7, helping to promote reading in our community. Participants can also add a donation during registration.

You can make an even bigger impact by joining the Flying Feather Book Drive — bring new or gently used children’s books to Packet Pick Up or on Race Day.

Together, every step we take helps share the gift of reading.

About 2nd & 7

The mission of 2nd & 7 is to promote reading by providing free books and positive role models to kids in need, while inspiring young athletes to pay it forward.

Founded in 1999 by former Ohio State football players Mike Vrabel, Luke Fickell and Ryan Miller, 2nd & 7 is committed to TACKLING ILLITERACY through two core programs: the Role Model Reading Program and the Columbus Kids’ Book Bank.

Through our Role Model Reading Program (RMRP), student-athletes visit classrooms, share stories and give children free books of their own. In 2026, the program will distribute more than 100,000 books!

Columbus Kids’ Book Bank (CKBB):
Our Columbus Kids’ Book Bank (CKBB) collects new and gently used K–6 books and distributes them to schools, teachers, librarians, community partners and children to increase their access to books and build up classroom and personal libraries. In 2026, the CKBB is on track to distribute more than 90,000 books to children throughout Central Ohio!

Each participant of the Kids Gobbler Chase will receive a Hog Mollies Book.
