10th Annual R.E.D. 5k Run/Walk

A Coffee Run brought to you by the Delaware Athletic Trainers' Association!

The DATA is excited to bring you our 5th Annual Coffee Run! Even if you do not love coffee---we promise a family friendly morning for all levels of runners and walkers!

This event is a fundraiser for the Delaware Athletic Trainers' Association. Athletic Trainers (ATs) are licensed healthcare providers that specialize in injury and illness prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, as well as emergency care and preparedness of the physically active. Our traditional setting is in secondary schools, collegiate, and professional athletic departments (We are the ones with the fanny packs that run out for injuries!!) but you will also see us in other places, including PT clinics and doctors offices. The DATA represents Athletic Trainers and advocates for the health and safety of athletes and the physically active in the state of Delaware. For more information about Athletic Trainers and the DATA visit www.delata.org.

Experience a scenic race course that takes you throughout historic downtown Wilmington. “The course has a lot of variety, and gives visitors a tour of many of the most interesting and beautiful parts of the city,” said one past participant from Pennsylvania.

The race route travels across beautiful Brandywine Park on the Brandywine River, along prestigious parkways, through historic neighborhoods of Wilmington and past downtown’s Rodney Square but without some of the confusing turns and crossovers. Choose from a full marathon, half-marathon, 10k, or 5k. Bring a friend to take advantage of our referral rewards to earn cash and gear. Non-runners can join us at start/finish line at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park for a great party with live music, vendors and activities for the whole family.

We believe this is your best chance to run a certified 26.2 mile road marathon in Delaware! We are a USATF certified Boston Marathon Qualifier and historically 10%-12% of our marathon runners have qualified for the Boston Marathon.

Runners, walkers, and supporters from across New Castle County will come together on April 23, 2026, at Abessinio Stadium for the 13th Annual Lt. Joseph Szczerba Memorial 5K, a meaningful event honoring the life and legacy of a true Salesian Gentleman and community hero.

The race was established in memory of Lieutenant Joseph Szczerba ’85, an 18-year veteran of the New Castle County Police Department and proud Salesianum alumnus, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty on September 16, 2011. Founded by his widow, Kathy Szczerba, the event supports the Szczerba Memorial Scholarship, which provides educational assistance to the children of First Responders. Each step taken and mile completed helps continue Lt. Szczerba’s legacy of service, sacrifice, and commitment to others, with all proceeds benefiting the scholarship fund.

Proceeds to benefit the Nick Mowers Memorial Scholarship for a PHMS student furthering their education in the field of Art and the Nick Mowers Dog Park.
