National Chocolate Day Run for Chocolates 5K/10K/13.1 TAMPA
This event takes place on September 12, 2026 at Courtney Campbell Trail in Tampa, FL. It offers multiple distance options including an in-person race and a virtual run. Waves are used to limit group size and are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis; a wait list and a virtual option are available when waves are full. The event is organized as a smaller, private group run with coordinators on site to support participants.
Timing is optional and there are no timing chips. Participants may track time with personal apps and submit results for online posting, or request coordinator assistance with timing. Race bibs are provided on race day. Coordinators remain on site for several hours after the first wave to assist late arrivals.
Swag is mailed to the US mailing address provided at registration; packets do not require in-person pickup. Typical items listed for participants include a running shirt, an optional technical shirt upgrade for a small additional fee, a finisher's towel or giveaway, a finisher's medal, and a digital training pack. Online results and a certificate of completion are offered, along with an invitation to local running clubs and optional fundraising opportunities tied to charity initiatives.
