Nicola Pizza Run/Walk 5K

Nicola Pizza Run/Walk 5K takes place in Lewes, Delaware, on November 7, 2026. A single format is offered, a 5K run/walk covering 3.1 miles, with the start at 8 a.m.

Coastal Delaware in early November tends to be cool and level underfoot, which is exactly what you want if you are trying to run an honest 3.1 miles. Run/walk events like this one draw a mixed field, so line up according to your pace rather than crowding the front, then settle into a rhythm you can hold to the finish. Preparing is straightforward: three or four runs a week for a month, one of them slightly longer than the race distance, and one at a pace that feels uncomfortable but controlled.
