Race Against Domestic Violence 5K

Lace up for a cause that truly makes a difference at the 29th Annual Race Against Domestic Violence 5K, taking place on Sunday, May 17, 2026, in Newark, DE. This inspiring event is more than just a race; it's a powerful community gathering dedicated to supporting CHILD, Inc., an organization that has been a beacon of hope for Delaware's children and families since 1963. Participants will run, walk, or jog along a fast, flat, out-and-back course that begins and ends at the Autumn Arch Beer Project, offering a scenic route through Newark.

The 5K kicks off at 9:00 AM, with bib pick-up and registration available beforehand from 8:00 AM at the Autumn Arch Beer Project. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions in mid-May, with highs around 74F and lows around 55F, and only a 16% chance of precipitation, creating comfortable running weather. Beyond the personal accomplishment, every stride directly contributes to CHILD, Inc.'s vital prevention, intervention, and treatment programs that strive to positively impact children and families, helping them live fulfilling lives free from violence.

After crossing the finish line, the celebration continues with post-race snacks and a complimentary beer (one per bib) from Autumn Arch Beer Project, fostering a sense of warm camaraderie among participants. This race is a unique opportunity to join a long-standing tradition of community support, advocating for a crucial cause while enjoying an engaging 5K experience.
