Race Information

The Hot Chocolate Run series is a national series of chocolate-themed races in major cities across the United States. These are big-city races - with courses to match.

Established in 2008, the inaugural Hot Chocolate 15k/5k ran through the streets of Chicago, Illinois. Since its inception, hundreds of thousands have run for chocolate - making it the fastest-growing race series in the nation.

Each Hot Chocolate race features a 15k (9.3 miles) and a 5k (3.1 miles), with many cities also featuring a 10k (6.2 miles).
