Greenwing Waddle 5K

Greenwing Waddle 5K takes place in Lewes, Delaware, on Sunday, November 29, 2026. The event offers a single format, a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m. Scheduled on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, it gives you a mid-morning reason to get out and move before the holiday weekend wraps up.

The 5K distance is open to just about everyone, from walkers and first-time racers to experienced runners looking for a quick, hard effort to close out the fall. If this is your first 5K, four to six weeks of running three times a week, mixing walking and running until you can cover 30 minutes without stopping, will get you to the line in good shape. If you already run regularly, add one weekly session of short intervals or strides to sharpen up and treat race morning as a fitness check before the winter months. Late November on the Delaware coast can be brisk, so bring layers you can shed after the warm-up.
