HospiceCare Chocolate Chase 5K/10K

Lace up your running shoes for the HospiceCare Chocolate Chase 5K/10K, an engaging event set in the picturesque town of Lewisburg, WV, on April 11, 2026. This popular charity race offers both a 5K and a 10K distance, inviting runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to participate. The race serves a dual purpose: supporting local HospiceCare and celebrating Lewisburg's "culinarily spectacular Chocolate Festival".

The course begins and ends at the historic Greenbrier County Courthouse in downtown Lewisburg, providing a scenic backdrop for your run. Participants in the 5K will turn around just beyond the I-64 overpass bridge, while 10K runners will continue to a water station at the 3.1-mile mark before heading back. This road race promises a pleasant journey through Lewisburg. Typical race day conditions in early April feature comfortable highs around 63°F and lows around 36°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

Beyond the scenic course, runners can anticipate a rewarding experience. All participants will receive finisher medals upon crossing the finish line, and top male and female runners in both distances will be recognized with awards. Long-sleeve race shirts are also available for purchase. The HospiceCare Chocolate Chase stands out as a community-focused event that blends the enjoyment of physical activity with the indulgence of the local Chocolate Festival, all while contributing to a vital local cause.
