The advent of cooler temperatures signals the beginning of the holiday season and the chilly reminder that the annual Egg Bowl is right around the corner. This year, fans of the two Egg Bowl rivals have another event to look forward to before the main event’s kickoff on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The second annual Egg Bowl Run takes place Monday (Nov. 24) as Army ROTC cadets from both the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University will cover more than 100 miles in two separate legs to deliver the game ball from Starkville to Oxford.\u00a0<\/span>Last year’s event was quite popular on social media.<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>This year, members of the public may track runners’ progress in real time by visiting\u00a0<\/span><\/span>http:\/\/www.myathletelive.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>throughout the day, by following\u00a0<\/span>@UMEggBowl<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>on Twitter or by following the hashtag\u00a0<\/span>#eggbowlrun<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>on social media outlets.<\/p>\n

Not only is it an opportunity to honor cadets and veterans from all branches of our military during Military Appreciation Month, it’s a great way to support these programs. In fact, if you give to Ole Miss Army ROTC during the Egg Bowl Run this year, you’ll be eligible for some cool perks as well as be automatically entered to win the official Ole Miss game ball carried by cadets and signed by head coach Hugh Freeze. Other prizes include an opportunity to fire the cannon at Vaught-Hemingway during the Egg Bowl, joining the cadets and members of the Ole Miss football team during their walk through the Grove before the game and even the American flag flown over Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.<\/p>\n

Check out the Ignite Ole Miss campaign site.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>They’ve already raised more than 15 percent of their goal, but with your help, they can easily reach $5,000 before the Egg Bowl Run kicks off early Monday morning.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t able to give, go out and support our cadets along the route. They are estimated to arrive in front of the Lyceum around 9 p.m., and they’ll be making a quick loop around the Square before that time, so you’ll have plenty of time to grab a bite to eat before cheering them on during the last leg of their 50-mile journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
