Ready to race? The USA TODAY Hot Chocolate Run series is heading to 16 cities this fall
View Date:2024-12-24 00:39:10
Mark your calendars for one of the sweetest races of the running season.
The USA TODAY Hot Chocolate Run series will come to 16 cities – from San Diego to Chicago – this fall, with 5K, 10K and 15K distances.
Last year the race attracted more than 150,000 runners across the country.
Running and chocolate go together really well. After the race, runners receive a chocolate fondue mug with dippable treats, and, hot chocolate, of course.
“This running series captures the joy of movement with the taste of chocolate across many of our USA TODAY Network local communities,” says Nate Scott, Vice President of Sports, Revenue Strategy for Gannett, which is partnering with Venture Endurance for the race.
And if you aren’t into running, but also enjoy hot chocolate, you can volunteer to work at the race.
