About the 13th Annual Cocoa Cup 5K
The Cocoa Cup runs through Summerville at Brown Family Park Nexton, finishing with hot cocoa waiting at the end. The course is open to strollers, and a kids' fun run runs separately before the main event. The whole morning leans into the holiday season, with a costume contest and a photo booth set up with Santa and his crew.
Packet pickup happens at Fleet Feet locations on the two evenings before the race, with a final window at the park on race morning under the Fleet Feet tents. Post-race activities include the cocoa, an awards ceremony, and the costume contest results. Proceeds go to several local organizations, including a food bank.
