Hot Chocolate Run – Houston
The SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run in Houston is held at Sam Houston Park and features multiple distance options. The event lists the following race distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- 10 mile
The course starts and finishes at Sam Houston Park and runs along Allen Parkway with views of Buffalo Bayou; St. John Church is noted among course highlights. A post-race party at the park includes music, vendors, and a Chocoholic finisher's mug filled with chocolate fondue, dippables, and hot chocolate.
Every registration includes a race kit with a full-zip fleece jacket and a finisher's medal. A Ghirardelli Cocoa Club upgrade is available and provides a canvas tote with single serve cocoa, a store credit, VIP corral placement, access to a dedicated club area, and an upgraded onsite experience that can include hot breakfast items, heaters, dedicated restrooms, premium Ghirardelli hot cocoa, and extra dippables.
Packet pick-up takes place at an expo prior to race day at the Daikin Park Concourse; there is no race day packet pick-up. Participants must wear their bib visibly on the front of the torso to receive an accurate time. Free high-resolution photos and official race times are emailed to participants after the race, and live runner tracking is offered the week of the event.
Overall and age group awards are presented for the top three male and female finishers in each distance, with prize amounts and registration benefits for overall placings and registration discounts or patches for age group placings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
