Get ready to experience the flat and fast Nicola Pizza 5K in picturesque Lewes, DE, on November 7, 2026. This popular event, now in its fourth year, offers runners a unique blend of scenic trails and a lively post-race celebration. The course is renowned for being flat and swift, taking participants through the charming 5-Points Development and onto the Georgetown/Lewes Trail, which also incorporates a multi-use path. Typical race day conditions in early November offer crisp autumn air, with historical highs around 61F and lows near 42F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The Nicola Pizza 5K is more than just a race; it's a community favorite organized by the Rehoboth Beach Running Co. and produced by Seashore Strider Event Production, Inc., with proceeds benefiting the "WARRIOR WEEKEND" program. Runners rave about the energetic atmosphere, which kicks off with the start line located conveniently in the parking lot of Nicola Pizza. The excitement continues to the finish line on the bike path between County Bank and Savannah Road, culminating in a fantastic post-race party back at Nicola Pizza.

What truly sets this race apart is the vibrant post-race celebration and the custom pizza awards given to age group champions, a nod to the iconic local host, Nicola Pizza, famous for its delicious pies and Nic-o-bolis. Participants consistently highlight the "great inaugural event" and the "energetic award ceremony," showcasing the strong community spirit. For families, a "Nic-o-boli Dash" for kids adds to the fun, making it a perfect outing for runners of all ages.
