I love this race! This is the sixth year I've run it. It's held at the Delaware Technical Community College Owens Campus in Georgetown on a Thursday evening in September near 9/11 (this year it was 9/9). The race is just $25 (early rate) and offers so much food at the end — ice cream, chicken, cole slaw, rolls, pizza, cheese curls, bananas and Dogfish Head beer. There was also live music.

Swag is a basic T-shirt, but for $25 and with all the food, that's definitely all I need (honestly, I'd be fine with just the food!). The race also benefits a great cause — scholarships for veterans and first responders at the college.

There are three aid stations for the 5K, which is more than most 5Ks probably have and is helpful. The course is two loops around the campus — nothing too exciting, but it is flat.

I've had to park kind of far away in the past, but this year, with a smaller race field and no election going on like there was in 2019, it was easy to park. Packet pickup was held inside before the event. I also appreciated that covid procedures were practiced, with volunteers serving food and wearing masks.

This is a great event and I'll be back next year!
