Hot Chocolate Run - Charlotte

Hot Chocolate Run - Charlotte takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina, on February 13, 2027. Three road distances are on the program: a 15K (9.3 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles).

Having three options on one morning makes this a good race for a group with mixed levels, and it gives an individual runner a real choice as well. The 15K is the interesting one, long enough to need a weekly long run of eight to ten miles behind it, short enough that you can race it without a full half marathon build. The 10K sits in familiar territory for anyone already doing regular tempo work, and the 5K is a short, hard effort you recover from in a day or two. Whichever you pick, keep most of your weekly running easy and put the intensity into one session a week.
