This one's for the girls! The Chocolate & Diamonds 5k for Ladies will be held in Russellville, Arkansas, on Saturday, May 3, 2025. While it will serve as the Runnersville Ladies Training Camp graduation event, registration is open to all females. We are excited that for many of our registrants, this will be their very first 5k.
The race includes fun music from Some DJ Named Robb, chipped race timing, a race shirt, supportive coaches on the route, a water station, a finisher's medal that will leave others green with envy, decadent Ghirardelli chocolate and chocolate milk at the finish line, and the coolest group of female racers in one place, so don't miss out. NOTE: To be guaranteed a race shirt in your desired size and to beat the race price increase, we encourage you to sign up for the race by midnight on Wednesday, April 23. We will order extra shirts to try to anticipate the needs of those who register after that date, but we will have to guesstimate sizes.
We have top finisher and age group awards for both walkers and runners in the Runnersville division (Runnersville participants) and the Open division (those who are not participating in the Runnersville Ladies Training Camp). Remember, if you sign up as a walker, you cannot run even one step or you can be disqualified. If you sign up as a runner, you can run or walk.
This is a stroller-friendly race. If you will be pushing a child in a stroller during the race, we ask that you line up on the right side of the starting chute and stay to the right until the racers begin to spread out.
Unauthorized walkers / runners ("bandits"), bicycles (other than official event-designated support cyclists), roller skates, skate boards, scooters, hoverboards and pets are not allowed on the race course with the exception of Coach Sophie, our Wonder Girl therapy dog.
