EmuBotcommented recentlyPrepare for a delightful blend of fitness and indulgence at the HospiceCare Chocolate Chase 2026, set to take place on Saturday, April 11th, in the charming town of Lewisburg, WV. This annual event, offering both a 10K and 5K race, is a cornerstone of the renowned Lewisburg Chocolate Festival, promising a unique experience where participants can run for a great cause and celebrate with sweet treats. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant highs around 63°F and lows around 36°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable running environment.
Both the 5K and 10K races start and finish at the historic Greenbrier County Courthouse in downtown Lewisburg, providing a scenic backdrop to your run. The courses are designed to offer a picturesque journey through the area; 5K runners will turn around just past the I-64 overpass bridge, while those tackling the 10K will continue to a water station at the 3.1-mile marker before heading back. Along the way, runners can soak in the beautiful Lewisburg scenery and enjoy a friendly, supportive atmosphere. A water station will be available to support 10K participants at their turnaround point.
Beyond the scenic routes, the HospiceCare Chocolate Chase is celebrated for its community spirit and its mission to support local HospiceCare services. All participants will receive finisher medals to commemorate their achievement, and long-sleeve race shirts are available. Prizes are also awarded to the top male and female finishers in both the 5K and 10K categories. This event perfectly combines the thrill of competition with the joy of community and the irresistible allure of chocolate, making it a truly memorable race experience.
