The 8th Annual Chocolate Challenge

The 8th Annual Chocolate Challenge is a community charity race held at Long Branch Park in Liverpool, NY, raising critical funds for Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) research through Kelleigh's Cause. Participants can choose from in-person 5K and 10K distances (both timed) or a 5K walk (untimed, dogs on leash welcome), as well as virtual 5K and 10K options for those who want to run on their own schedule in July. All finishers receive a race shirt, medal, and — most importantly — a post-race chocolate reward at the finish. The course follows the waterfront trails and natural scenery of Long Branch Park. Runners are encouraged to share their experience on social media by tagging @CHOCOLATECHALLENGERACE on Facebook or using #CHOCOLATECHALLENGE and #KELLEIGHSCAUSE.
