The Chocolate Race

Since I have been living a more healthy lifestyle and have started running I decided it was time to register for my first 5K. I'm not the best at running but I'm not horrible and I know that doing a 5K race I will feel like I have accomplished something and really show how much more healthier I have become. My friend had told me about The Chocolate Race. It is on May 12. 2013 in St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada. There are 3 categories 10 mile, 10K and 5K. You don't even have to run as walkers are welcome. As a bonus they also feed you chocolate before, during and after the race. Chocolate strawberries, truffles, chocolate milk and more. They also have "mini" chocolate race for kids. There are 2 categories "Pint Size" 1 km Chocolate Race and "Adventure Kids" 2.5 km Chocolate TRAIL Race. I signed my 5 year old daughter up for the 1K race. I think it will help her self esteem participating and finishing a race. Even though it's at and earlier start time then mine she is so excited to be doing a race with me. There is also activity stations set up with activities for kids. After the race my family and I will be spending the day at the Chocolate Festival that will be running there all weekend. It is also Mother's Day that day so I couldn't think of a better way to spend my day.
