The Almost-Famous New Year's Day Hot Chocolate 5k Run is organized to help raise money for Minds in Motion Children’s Museum. That coupled with having a fun on New Years Day, is something you don't want to miss out on. Minds in Motion Children's Museum was established by the local community to help children have a physical place to go and grow a love for learning by exploration, creation and discovering using play in an innovative way. All proceeds from the event will continue to go towards the building of a children’s museum in or around Salisbury, Maryland! Despite the pandemic thwarting efforts to raise money, our board has been working hard behind scenes to get the museum up and running in phases! More information will be announced at the run! Thank you to our continued supporters and donors!
The 5k will be set on the trails around The Salisbury Park and The Zoo trails close to the river. There are some roots and some rocks along the course, so be prepared. The majority of the race is composed of crushed gravel trails, creating a fast scenic race.
We will have an aid station with water and snacks at mile 1.5ish and we will have water and delicious hot chocolate (+ fixings) at the end. The course will be very well marked and measured. There will be overall and age group awards. Sign up before December 1st to be guaranteed a T-Shirt.
Bring the entire family out and be ready to run, have fun and sip on some Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate as we celebrate the beginning of 2024!
Registration information will appear here shortly and when it does sign up quickly!
HUGE MUGS to the overall winners!
