San Diego SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run
The SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run takes place on March 7, 2027, at the Petco Park Tailgate Lots in San Diego, California. The event offers three timed race distances: 5K, 10K, and 15K.
The course passes local landmarks and neighborhoods, including Balboa Park (10K and 15K), Golden Hill Park and neighborhood (10K and 15K), East Village neighborhood (all events), the "Hi, Hello, Hola" mural, Petco Park, and Fig Tree Garden. An interactive course map and PDF map are provided for route details.
Race entries include a swag kit with a full-zip fleece jacket and a finisher's medal, a commemorative race bib, free high-resolution finish photos, and a finisher's mug with chocolate fondue and hot chocolate served at the post-race party at Petco Park. Races are professionally managed and timed. Participants must wear bibs fully visible on the front of the torso to receive an accurate time and to access start corrals.
An Expo and packet pick-up is scheduled for Saturday, March 6, 2027, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at a location to be determined; there is no race day packet pick-up. Packet mailing is available for a fee of $21.95 if added by February 14, 2027. A Ghirardelli Cocoa Club upgrade offers additional on-site perks and reserved access. Overall and age-group awards are given for the 5K, 10K, and 15K categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
