I Love Mom 5K

Lace up your running shoes and celebrate the incredible moms in your life at the I Love Mom 5K, set for Sunday, May 10, 2026, in scenic Newark, Delaware. This cherished Mother's Day tradition welcomes runners and walkers of all paces to a vibrant 5K event that perfectly blends fitness with heartfelt appreciation. Starting and finishing at the Canal Little League on 2548 Glasgow Ave, the course offers a meaningful way to kick off Mother's Day. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 73°F and lows near 52°F, with a relatively low 16% chance of precipitation, creating pleasant running weather.

The I Love Mom 5K is more than just a race; it's a celebration with a cause, supporting Josie's Grace, a program dedicated to aiding new mothers in their fourth trimester. Participants can expect a festive atmosphere and thoughtful amenities, including post-race snacks and drinks, a custom race bib (with your name if registered before April 10th), and a choice of a race t-shirt or women's tank top. A highlight for all mothers crossing the finish line is a special flower, adding a touching tribute to their day. Awards will be presented to overall male and female winners, overall masters male and female, and the top three finishers in various age groups, with overall and masters awards based on gun time and age group awards on chip time.
