Virtual Chocolate 5K Run/Walk
February 12, 2022
Terry Campus, Dover, DE
The 10th annual Delaware Tech Terry Campus Chocolate 5k run/walk will take place on campus Saturday, February 12, 2022.
The Chocolate 5k is a family-friendly event that offers a 5k run on a single loop USATF-certified course, a 5k walk, a free Kiddie K, and one sweet after-party. At the conclusion of their run or walk, participants and their guests warm up inside the Del-One Conference Center for an awards ceremony and the opportunity to indulge on homemade hot chocolate, freshly prepared chocolate ganache served with fresh fruit, and decadent home-baked chocolate treats, all prepared by students in the Delaware Tech culinary arts program.
Awards are presented to overall male and female champions, overall male and female masters winners, the top three finishers in five-year age groups, and the top three male and female walkers. Additional amenities include an event T-shirt designed by one of the College’s visual communications students and special awards for the best Valentine-themed costumes.
In 2021, the Chocolate 5k was held as a virtual event throughout the month of February, with proceeds raised benefiting the Campus Emergency Fund for Students. Because of generous sponsors, donors, and other friends of the College, more than $12,000 was raised to support the fund, which provides financial assistance to students who find themselves in an unexpected or emergency situation that makes it difficult for them to complete their current semester.
Run/Walk Anywhere!
With the Chocolate 5k going virtual, the race can be completed anywhere anytime, so Delaware Tech has set an ambitious goal of securing at least one participant from every state in the country. Help us cover the map by inviting your friends to join you in the Chocolate 5k! #chocolate5Kdtcc
