Wilmington, DE, 19806, US
Join us for our annual UPD 5K.
This race benefits Ulster Project Delaware (UPD). UPD was founded in 1976 as a program to build understanding between Northern Irish Catholic and Protestant teenagers. Each July, the project brings a group of teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16, half Catholic, half Protestant, and half girls, half boys, to the Wilmington area where they live with host teenagers and their families for four weeks. During that month, the teens participate in a variety of team building, social, sightseeing, spiritual and service activities that enable them to create enduring friendships and mutual understanding.
The Ulster Project Delaware 5K is an annual road race held in Wilmington, Delaware, benefiting the Ulster Project, an organization dedicated to fostering understanding and reconciliation between young people from Northern Ireland and the United States. While specific historical details about the race's inception are not provided, its recurring nature suggests a long-standing tradition within the community supporting this meaningful cause. Participants can anticipate a well-organized 5K run or walk, suitable for all fitness levels, with a focus on community engagement and charitable giving. Typically, the Ulster Project Delaware 5K takes place on paved roads within Wilmington, offering a relatively flat and fast course. The terrain is generally smooth, making it accessible for most runners and walkers. As an event held in July, participants should be prepared for summer weather conditions, which can include warmth and humidity, so hydration and appropriate attire are recommended. While the primary focus is on the race itself and supporting the Ulster Project, the event usually fosters a friendly and supportive atmosphere, often featuring post-race refreshments and opportunities to learn more about the organization's impactful work.
