2016 CHOCOLATE FANTASIA 7K NIGHT RUN & CHOCOLATE GARDEN

Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 19th, 8PM and get ready to experience a chocolate-coated running fantasy world! 

The unique 7K distance will take you on a twilight tour of the beautiful downtown Punta Gorda waterfront. A chocolate garden awaits our guests and race finishers.  The chocolate tasting garden will be open to the public and sampling tickets will be for sale through our Chocolate Garden vendors. This is an exciting community event not to be missed and runners and walkers of all ages and abilities are welcome to participate in this timed event.

Race proceeds benefit 1-2-3 Runners and The Tender Hearts Partnership.  1-2-3 Runners is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) foundation committed to building a strong America, beginning with our local community. Keeping the mission of 1-2-3 Runners in mind, we have once again selected The Tender Hearts Partnership as our community charity of choice for The Chocolate Fantasia 7k Night Run. The mission of the Tender Hearts Partnership is to provide free of charge, peer-based dances and activities for adults with intellectual disabilities. The organization relies solely on the donations and volunteer hours of local businesses, community organizations, friends and family.
