AUSTIN, Texas - March 3, 2014 - PRLog -- NR Road Racing will hold The Chocolate 5k in Austin on Saturday March 15, 2014 at 9:00 AM to benefit the Eliminate Project with the Manor New Tech Key Club. The event will be held at East Metro Park, 18706 Blake Manor Rd. Manor, TX 78653. Race registration is $35 for individuals and $30 per person for teams of 4 or more. There will be a $40 walk up registration fee. All ages are welcome, however, anyone 12 and older must be registered. We also welcome anyone who would like to volunteer!

NR Road Racing presents a chocolatey good time. We are offering you sweet treats to keep you going throughout the 5k. Yes there will still be water stations, but for those of you with a sweet tooth, you can also have a little piece of joy. Enjoy a family-friendly three mile course with your friends, family, and other choc-oholic strangers. It doesn’t matter how fast or old you are; everyone is welcome to participate and join in the fun! After the race, we’ll be still partying and filling up with chocolate. You are invited to hang out and party to the music and have some more chocolate on us! Family and friends are always encouraged to join in the party at the end!

The Manor New Tech Key Club is a student-lead organization based in high schools where students dedicate time to building their homes, schools, and communities. Through community service students learn valuable leadership skills and make meaningful friendships that will last a lifetime. Manor New Tech Key Club has taken on a year long project known as the Eliminate 5k, a walk/run that will benefit the Eliminate Project, an effort by UNICEF and Kiwanis International to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus off the face of the planet.

“We’re excited to be working with the Manor New Tech Key Club. This is going to be a fun event for all ages. And the chocolate doesn’t hurt,” said Heather Newman with NR Road Racing. “We hope everyone can come out and have a sweet filled morning with us!”
