2020 Event Details
*Each year, we look forward to seeing our Chocolate Tour participants and to all the fun we have together while supporting Cancer Research at Penn State University. We are enormously grateful for your continued and unwavering support in these difficult and uncertain times!
During the past few months, our lives have been transformed due to COVID-19. We have found ourselves forced to sacrifice and adapt to safely interact with one another. The Chocolate Tour is unfortunately no different and, we too, had to face the need to reorganize the event to ensure the health and safety of participants and volunteers alike. This is and will remain our primary concern while moving forward with this event. Even though it was our hope to see everyone complete their events in person once again this year, we have been forced to adapt.
In order to ensure everyone’s health and safety, the run and walk events will be entirely virtual this year. The cycling event will have a virtual option, but cyclists may also choose to ride two different marked 25-mile loops, first in one direction and then in reverse to complete 100 miles. There will be one refreshment stop. This option is subject to change depending on the COVID-19 situation. A final decision will be made in July. Start times will be staggered (and time confirmed by email) or participants may opt to start anywhere along the courses at suggested parking areas to ensure social distancing. Refreshments will be bottled beverages and manufacturer sealed nutritional items only. Please check your emails and our social media pages for updates with changes to the 25-mile cycling course!
Participants who have completed the the 25-mile loop OR virtual bike ride, run or walk may stop at the 25-mile cycling rest stop site (TBD) on August 1 to pick up a *T-shirt and bag of chocolate treats, along with the
most heartfelt appreciation and congratulations from the event organizers.
*T-shirt availability is subject to manufacturers ability to operate. We are monitoring this closely and will make adjustments and updates as needed. Please continue to check our social media pages for updated information.

Running & Cycling Photos from the 2019 ride:
Lancaster Bike Club member Steve Holland will have a team of photographers strategically stationed along the running and cycling routes to capture photos of our riders and the beautiful central Pennsylvania scenery and covered bridges. These photos will be available for sale on his website, www.zenfolio.com/imaginations. Available items will include digital downloads and prints in popular sizes, all at very reasonable prices. And best of all, proceeds benefit the Conner M Holland Foundation (cmhollandfoundation.org), which provides financial support to families of children with pediatric cancer, and runs the Conner’s Comfies ™ program that distributes new pajamas to sick children at the Hershey Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
