Event Information
About This Event
When you walk, run or roll the Arc Otsego's Hot Cocoa 5K or 1K, you are helping make life sweeter for people with developmental disabilities! Proceeds benefit The Arc Otsego's Helping Hands Fund which assists individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to seize life's opportunities and overcome life's challenges. The Hot Cocoa is a professionally-timed, family friendly, inclusive and accessible event.
Details: Enjoy a crisp fall run starting in Oneonta's beautiful Neahwa Park and celebrate post-race with a steaming cup of hot cocoa--with mini-marshmallows of course! The 5K course takes you through Neahwa Park, down War Memorial Dr., through the City of Oneonta, returning to end in Neahwa Park. Chip timing is provided by Racewire. The untimed 1K Walk, Run and Roll takes place entirely within the Neahwa Park. 1K participants receive an unchipped bib. Post-race refreshments are provided for 5K and 1K participants. All event participants receive a complimentary ticket for a cup of hot cocoa and a raffle ticket for the Cocoa Madness Gift Basket. Ample parking is available in the park and at the Oneonta City Parking Garage.
