Arc Otsego Hot Cocoa 5K Run & 1K Walk, Run & Roll : Oneonta, NY
The event takes place on October 18, 2026, at Neahwa Park in Oneonta. Proceeds benefit The Arc Otsego Helping Hands Fund, which assists individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
The 5K course is entirely inside Neahwa Park and consists of two laps. Walkers follow a one-loop route within the park. Organizers indicate runners will lead onto the two-lap 5K while walkers use the one-loop course. The in-park layout is intended to improve safety for participants and provide more opportunities for spectators.
Distances:

- 1K one-loop walk, run, or roll
