Ontario > The Chocolate Race Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
Port Dalhousie, Ontario

   

Date

Sunday, August 29, 2010


 
Event Details

Set for its second annual running in the late summer of 2010 -- last year's inaugural running saw nearly 600 runners take to the streets of this southern Ontario town along the shores of Lake Ontario -- Port Dalhousie's The Chocolate Race Half Marathon (21K), 10K & 5K takes runners on a scenic route along the roads and bike paths that wind along the lakefront.

The course for the race follows a mostly flat and fast route through the town, with an overall elevation gain of about 49 meters (and an overall loss in elevation of 38 meters over the course of the race). The really unique feature of the race -- which anyone who loves to eat will enjoy -- is the chocolate station located out along the course at the 7 km (and 19 km) marker, in addition to the regular water and aid stations.

The race will also see the debut of two new distances in 2010, with the addition of the 10K and the 5K races, to attract runners from a wider variety of experience and ability levels. Runners in the half marathon will have 3 hours to complete their race, while those running the 10K and 5K will have 2 1/2 hours and 2 hours, respectively.
