Run or Walk The Chocolate Challenge

If you like a refreshing morning run followed by delicious chocolate treats, then this event is for you. The Chocolate Challenge is a charity race that supports Kelleigh's Cause, an organization created to raise funds for Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM) and rare disease research. This charity focuses on community involvement. Our goal is to hold a community wide event while raising critical funds for necessary medical research and public education.

All runners will receive a shirt, medal, and post race chocolate!

On 9/3/2020, the Annal family was in a tragic car crash on the NYS Thruway. Their daughters, Maryella, 11, and Elizabeth, age 9, did not survive the accident. This event is to honor the girls and their “Angel birthdays” and bring the community that loves them together to celebrate their lives. All proceeds from the event will be shared with several community not for profits and Annal’s Angels, for the benefit of the Central New York community with a focus on literacy. Last year, donations were shared with The Baldwinsville Christmas Bureau, Friends Forever Animal Rescue, and the Baldwinsville Public Library.
