Hot Cocoa 10K/5K and 1 Mile Events - Sylvania, OH
This is the 11th annual Hot Cocoa Race organized by Sylvania Prevention Alliance in partnership with Olander Park in Sylvania, Ohio. The event takes place at Olander Park and includes multiple running and walking options for different ages.
The event includes:
- 10K Run

The 1 mile course is a single loop that stays inside Olander Park and circles Olander Lake. The 5K begins at the Nederhouser Community Building, follows park trails, crosses Sylvania Avenue into the Farmbrook neighborhood, uses the University Parks trail to McCord Road, and returns to circle the lake for a finish at the Nederhouser. The 10K follows the 5K course and extends onto the University Parks trail before returning to the 5K finish. These courses are open to traffic and not closed. Course maps are provided online and at packet pick up.
Proceeds support youth programs promoting positive healthy lifestyle choices and the prevention of drug and alcohol use. Hot cocoa and grab and go snacks are available after the finish. Age group awards are presented after the races. Packet pick up is scheduled on the days before the event at local locations, with limited race day packet pick up for those living more than 30 minutes away. After February 4 there is no shirt guarantee and early bird pricing ends. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
