Chocolate Bunny 5K

Get ready for a truly sweet start to spring at the 4th Annual Chocolate Bunny 5K, taking place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in Newark, DE. This delightful 5K event is hosted at Olan Thomas Park, offering participants a scenic course through the charming town. With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 60F and lows around 40F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation, it promises ideal running weather for a memorable experience.

Runners will find themselves immersed in a festive, chocolate-themed atmosphere, perfect for all ages and fitness levels. What makes this race uniquely appealing is the fantastic swag: every finisher earns a coveted chocolate bunny, along with satisfying post-race snacks to refuel. Top performers also have an extra incentive, as first-place winners in each age group will hop away with a special prize of Peeps.

Beyond the personal triumphs and sweet treats, participating in the Chocolate Bunny 5K also supports a great cause. The event proudly partners with The Friends of Fusion Foundation, an all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing assistance and support for children, young adults, and first responders within the State of Delaware. Bib pick-up and same-day registration open at Olan Thomas Park at 8:00 AM, with the 5K race kicking off at 9:00 AM. Join fellow runners for a fun-filled morning that combines fitness, community spirit, and, of course, chocolate!
