Race Course: The race runs through the Giant Center parking lot, along Hersheypark Drive, around the outlets...and then through Hersheypark itself! The race is made up of rolling hills but inside Hersheypark the hills are short but steep. The park employees are cheering so loudly to distract you from the hills though! The race ends on the track inside Hersheypark Stadium where spectators can cheer you on. There was one aid station with typical water and bathrooms.

Swag: the first year I ran it I got a long sleeved t-shirt, but they have upgraded to long sleeved tech shirts! At the finish you also get a medal and a reusable lunch box filled with snacks and Hershey candy.

Fun stuff: The race is early, but finishes right around the time that Chocolate World opens. You can get a post-race milkshake at 9:00 am! You can also pose with the Hershey characters as they walk around the race area.

Overall I loved this race! The course support was awesome, the weather during this time of year is great, and getting to run through Hersheypark is so much fun! If you love chocolate, you'll love this race :)
