Run for Chocolate 5K/10K/13.1 PHOENIX
The Run for Chocolate is a running event on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona. The event offers several distance options: 5K, 10K, and Half-Marathon (13.1 miles). There is also a Virtual Run option and a Family 1 Mile Fun Run. The event is organized as a smaller, private group run with capped wave sizes.
Wave starts are offered at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM. Participants who arrive late can still run upon arrival, as coordinators remain on-site for three hours after the first wave. Timing is optional; participants can track their own time via a running app. There are no timing chips used. All paces and ages are welcome, and participants can run or walk.
Registration includes a swag bag with a running t-shirt (shipped to US addresses prior to the race), a finisher's medal, a finisher's towel or giveaway item, and a digital training pack. Race bibs are provided on the day of the event. An optional technical running shirt upgrade is available. Results and a certificate of completion are provided online. Participants are also invited to join a local running club.
A charity initiative donates $1 for every mile logged after the race to selected charities. The event has multiple sponsors, including Gatorade. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
