Hot Chocolate Run - San Diego

Hot Chocolate Run - San Diego comes to San Diego, California, on March 7, 2027, with three road distances: a 15K (9.3 miles), a 10K and a 5K. Start times are not published, and no elevation figure is given for any of the courses.

The 15K is the interesting option here, because it is a distance American runners rarely get to race. It sits between a 10K and a half marathon, which makes it a good progress check midway through a spring half build: long enough to expose thin endurance, short enough that you recover within a few days. The 10K suits runners who already run for an hour comfortably, and the 5K is the entry point for anyone new to racing. Whichever you pick, run the first third slower than target and the last third faster.
