Chocolate Run - 5K, 10K, Half Marathon
This is the 13th annual Chocolate Run, held on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at Stanley Park, starting from Lumberman's Arch. The route uses the paved Seawall, which runs along the park shorelines and provides views of the city, the northern mountains, and Lion's Gate Bridge.
Distances offered:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
Event services include race bibs, individual timing with an attachable shoe tag, and a display clock. Participants must return timing tags after the race to avoid a charge. Souvenir items are listed while supplies last, including a finishing medal and a race toque, plus chocolate and after-race snacks. Overall awards are given to the top three male and female finishers.
Facilities include washrooms at the start and finish and additional locations near the Water Park and Second Beach Pool. Water stations differ by course: none on the 5K, one on the 10K, and three on the Half Marathon. A bag check is available by donation at the charity table. Results depend on the timing tag being attached to the shoe.
Online registration closes one week prior to the race or when the participant cap is reached. Other registration options and package pickup information are provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
