The 2023 Chocolate Tour is a BIKING or FUN WALK event that supports cancer research. The 2023 event is located at a central location between three famous chocolate manufacturing towns in central PA. The central host town for the 2022 event is Manheim (15 to 30-minutes from the chocolate manufacturing towns of Hershey, Elizabethtown, and Lititz). It is a very friendly and happy place ideally located among the chocolate towns, Amish farms, covered-bridges, forests, rivers, lakes, and other features making it a beautiful as well as idyllic area in which to bicycle or walk. The fun walk will be in the newly renovated Chiques Creek Park and include walking through a covered bridge
The fun walk event for the 2023 Chocolate Tour will occur on new 2 mile loop around the Manheim Farm Show complex. The key is to have fun while supporting cancer research! Aside from inspirational music there will be games, raffles and prizes that will occur or be handed-out during the event. Local vendors or event supporters will line the course and offer samples of chocolate and other goods. The event emcee is the popular Cheryl Gamber.
