What an incredible day at the Chocolate Challenge! We’re still on a sugar high from all the fun, sweat, and sweet community spirit. 😄

All race photos and results are linked below on the Run Sign Up!

To every runner who showed up, pushed through, and crossed that finish line — your energy and enthusiasm made this race day unforgettable.

To our amazing Chocolateers — we couldn’t have done it without your smiles and encouragement at water stops & the Geoffrey Wolfgang finish line.

And to the dedicated crew who planned, coordinated, and pulled every piece together — your hard work is what made this chocolatey dream a reality. 🍫✨

From the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU for being a part of something so sweet. It was our biggest year yet! We can’t wait to see you all again next year!

The 7th Annual Chocolate Challenge is on Saturday July 26, 2025. It includes the following events: 10K Run, 5K Walk, 5K Run, Virtual 5K Run/Walk, and Virtual 10K.
