National Chocolate Day: Run for Chocolates 5K/10K/13.1 LOS ANGELES

National Chocolate Day: Run for Chocolates 5K/10K/13.1 LOS ANGELES brings participants together in Santa Monica, California, on September 11, 2027. Themed around National Chocolate Day, the morning features four events starting at 7:30 a.m.: the half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km), the 10K, the 5K and a family-friendly mile. Run or walk, everyone goes at their own pace; timing is available as an option, and a swag bag includes a T-shirt, a finisher's medal and a digital training pack.

For families or groups of friends of different abilities, having four distances at the same start time makes the day easy to organize. A regular runner can treat the 5K as a speed session, then accompany the youngest on the mile. Those preparing for a fall goal race may prefer the 10K as a tune-up, without changing their training week.
