12/07 Hot Chocolate 15k/5k Race in Downtown St. Louis

St. Louis — The Ultimate Chocolate Run is Coming!
Mark your calendars: The Hot Chocolate Run hits town on December 7, and registration is officially OPEN!
Take on the 5K or 15K, then celebrate with a chocolate-fueled party that’s as sweet as it sounds.

Here’s what’s waiting:
Hot chocolate + fondue at the finish line
A cozy 2025 jacket you’ll actually wear all winter
Medal, bib, and free race photos
A high-energy post-run celebration in the heart of STL
This isn’t just a race — it’s a delicious December tradition. Whether you're running for time or treats, you’ll leave with memories (and snacks) to last.

5k start time: 7:15 am
15k start time: 8:00 am

What would a CHOCOLATE run be without the CHOCOLATE? The sweetest award awaits you at the finish line. (And no, we aren’t talking about that well-deserved medal!) Indulge in a finisher mug overflowing with chocolate fondue, dippables, and, of course, our famous HOT CHOCOLATE!

All courses take runners on a tour of Downtown St. Louis and pass sites such as the Energizer Park, home of the St. Louis CITY FC, Union Station, and Saint Louis University. 15K course runners get an extra sweet treat with a run down Washington Avenue and through Ballpark Village and “the Soulard” area of St. Louis!
