Newark, Scott Mackler 5K, Turkey Trot, UD Blue Hens Homecoming 5K, upcoming races

Here we highlight three upcoming Newark-area races happening between now and Thanksgiving.


Blue Hens Homecoming 5K logoUD Homecoming 5K
Wednesday, October 23, at 5:30 p.m.
Delaware Stadium
625 South College Avenue in Newark

Ever want to finish a race inside a stadium? Here’s a great chance to do so. This out-and-back course on the University of Delaware’s south campus, though flat, is a good challenge for all. It finishes on the football field in Delaware Stadium.

Register now!

Sunday, November 3, at 12:30 p.m.
Temple Beth El
301 Possum Park Road in Newark

It started in 1999, right after the late CRR Scott Mackler was diagnosed with ALS. It’s probably the toughest road 5K in Delaware. Runners are rewarded, though, with a full buffet after the run. Awards for top finishers—both runners and walkers.

The oldest continuously contested race in Newark is back for another year of pre-Thanksgiving fun. Do the 10K, the 5K, or both. Great course and a great community event.

bear, black bear, caution, Newark

bear-sighting notice by City of NewarkToday a black bear was spotted in Newark. This comes on the same day that a News Journal article mentioned two other sightings here in New Castle County. Creek Road Runners are urged to keep an eye out. If you spot a bear while out on Creek Road, don’t get too close because bears are fast too.

Creek Road Runners is an informal association of runners/joggers who frequent the only quiet scenic road out of Newark, Delaware.
