We ALL Scream for ICE CREAM 5K

Get ready to sweeten your stride at the We All Scream For Ice Cream 5K, set for Tuesday, June 2, 2026, in scenic Newark, DE. This delightful 5K event promises a fun-filled experience for runners and ice cream enthusiasts alike, offering a perfect blend of fitness and delicious reward. Typical race day conditions in early June feature pleasant highs around 79°F and lows around 60°F, with only a 17% chance of precipitation, ensuring a comfortable run through Olan Thomas Park.

The race kicks off at 6:30 PM from Olan Thomas Park, located at 89 Paper Mill Road, inviting participants to dash through a scenic course. What truly makes this event stand out is the indulgent treat awaiting every finisher: a well-deserved scoop of ice cream from Woodside Ice Cream Farm. Runners also receive a commemorative T-shirt or women's tank top, and those who register early (before May 1st) will enjoy a custom bib with their name printed on it. Bib pickup begins on race day at Olan Thomas Park from 5:30 PM to 6:15 PM, and convenient parking is available behind Timothy's of Newark at 100 Creek View Road, just a short walk from the start.

Beyond the personal rewards, participating in the We All Scream For Ice Cream 5K supports a worthy cause, as proceeds benefit the Friends of Fusion Foundation, a 501(c)(3) volunteer organization dedicated to assisting children, young adults, and first responders in Delaware. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply looking for a joyful evening with friends, this 5K combines community spirit, a charming course, and the ultimate post-race celebration.
