About this race

🦆🍩 THE DUCK DONUTS 5K & 2K PUP STRUT IS STILL ON — WE'RE JUST GOING VIRTUAL! 🍩🦆

Hello Duck Donuts Runners, Walkers & Pup Strutters!

We have an important update regarding this year's Duck Donuts 5K & 2K Pup Strut.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've had to make the difficult decision to change this year's event from an in-person race to a VIRTUAL race.

We're disappointed that we won't be able to bring everyone together at our planned Parsippany location, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop!

The good news? You'll still get your race bling and the opportunity to support a great cause!

🏃‍♀️ 5K RUN/WALK — YOUR RACE, YOUR PACE!

Run it. Jog it. Walk it.

Complete your 5K wherever and whenever it works for you during the event period!

Your neighborhood, a local park, your favorite trail or even a treadmill — the choice is yours.

Every registered 5K participant will still receive:

🥇 A one-of-a-kind Duck Donuts finisher medal

👕 Your official event T-shirt

🏃 Your commemorative race bib

🐾 2K PUP STRUT — LET'S GET THOSE TAILS WAGGING!

Our four-legged friends aren't being left out!

Grab your pup and complete your 2K walk wherever you choose.

A big thank-you to Tater Bear Treats, our Pup Strut sponsor, for supporting this year's event!

📦 MULTIPLE IN-PERSON PACKET PICKUPS THANKSGIVING WEEK!

We're planning several in-person packet pickup opportunities during Thanksgiving week so you can collect your:

🏅 Finisher medal

👕 Event T-shirt

🏃 Race bib

We'll announce the pickup dates, times and locations shortly.

🍩 AND WHAT ABOUT THE DONUTS?

We're working with Duck Donuts on the best way to incorporate everyone's favorite post-race treat into our updated plans. Stay tuned for details!

🎁 WE'RE STILL SUPPORTING TOYS FOR TOTS – DOVER!

One of the most important parts of this event is giving back to our community.

We're continuing our support of Toys for Tots – Dover, and we encourage everyone to bring a new, unwrapped toy to one of our Thanksgiving week packet pickups.

Last year, we challenged everyone to help fill four boxes with toys. Let's see if we can make an even bigger impact this year!

🏅 5 RACE CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS — YOUR MEDAL IS STILL WAITING!

If the Duck Donuts 5K or 2K Pup Strut is your fifth and final race in the MegaBite Runs 5 Race Challenge, you will STILL receive your special Challenge Medal at one of our Thanksgiving week packet pickups!

Even though this year's race is going virtual, it still counts toward completing your challenge. You've earned that extra bling, and we're making sure you get it!

🦆 ALREADY REGISTERED? YOU'RE ALL SET!

There's no need to register again. Your existing registration will automatically be transferred to the virtual event.

We understand this isn't what everyone originally signed up for, and we sincerely apologize for the change. We appreciate your flexibility, understanding and continued support.

After seven years of Duck Donuts races, we're not about to let a change of plans take away the fun!

Thank you for being part of the MegaBite Runs family. We look forward to seeing everyone during Thanksgiving week and getting those medals, shirts and bibs into your hands!

🦆🍩 KEEP CALM, KEEP RUNNING & DONUT WORRY — YOU'VE STILL EARNED YOUR BLING!
