C.H.H.I.P.S. Trot 'N Brew

Prepare for a unique and spirited challenge at the 40th Annual C.H.H.I.P.S. Trot 'N Brew, set to unfold on Saturday, August 15, 2026, in the charming streets of Conyngham, within Sugarloaf, PA. This isn't your average 1.5-mile race; it's a cherished novelty event where participants are invited to run, walk, or even crawl through town, making strategic stops at designated establishments along the course. Here, the true "brew" of the event comes alive as you can purchase a refreshing 25-cent draft beer or a soft drink before continuing your journey to the finish line. Given that typical race day conditions in mid-August see highs around 78°F and lows around 59°F, with a modest 19% chance of precipitation, expect pleasant weather for this "rain or shine" community tradition.

The C.H.H.I.P.S. Trot 'N Brew promises a festive and engaging atmosphere, known for its strong community spirit. This event, held in memory of Rocco Colangelo Sr. and Jr., proudly channels all proceeds to benefit the Helping Hands Society, a non-profit dedicated to supporting children with special needs and developmental delays across Luzerne, Carbon, and Schuylkill Counties. The chip-timed course winds through the streets of Conyngham, with the excitement kicking off near the CVCO Rec Center/Gould Building.

Participants, who must be 21 or over and present a government-issued photo ID at registration, are advised to bring quarters for their refreshment stops. Whether you're in it for a personal best or simply to enjoy the camaraderie and support a wonderful cause, the C.H.H.I.P.S. Trot 'N Brew offers a truly memorable experience that blends fitness with fun and philanthropy.
