1ST ANNUAL
HANUKKAH HOT
CHOCOLATE RUN
By: Debbie Claggett | Sports, Rec. & Aquatics Director
The 1st Annual Hanukkah Hot Chocolate Run was a “sweet”
success! Close to 200 participants toed the line to compete in
the 5K timed event and 1K fun run, all focused on getting
to that hot chocolate at the end! It was a festive event, with
everyone getting a reusable logo bag with Hanukkah gelt
and dreidels, a long-sleeved shirt, and a finisher mug. It was
a beautiful morning and the Rillito River Path provided the
perfect route, free of car traffic and was easy to follow.
