21st Annual Seaford Hot Chocolate Run
Lace up your sneakers and get ready for the morning everyone looks forward to all year long! Kick off your race day to the live sounds of Seaford School District's very own student Jazz Band. Cross the finish line and treat yourself to warm hot chocolate and fresh bagels, then stick around for an exciting awards ceremony and raffle drawings.
There's nothing quite like running through a charming town, waving to familiar faces, and breathing in that crisp holiday air. It's the kind of morning that feels straight out of a Hallmark movie. Whether you've lived in Seaford your whole life or you're just discovering it for the first time, this race has a way of making you feel right at home. For so many, it has become the tradition that makes the holiday season feel truly official.
And don't forget to pick up your complimentary race day shirt. Because nothing beats repping this great community in style year after year!
Every dollar raised goes directly back into programs that support the health and wellness of the Seaford community.
This isn't just a race. It's a kick-off to the season. Come be part of it!
