About

National Chocolate Day: Run for Chocolates 5K/10K/13.1 MEMPHIS brings runners together in Memphis on September 11, 2027. Four events start at 7:30 a.m.: the 13.1 Half-Marathon (21.1 km), a 10K, a 5K and the Family 1 Mile Fun Run (1.6 km), which is open to kids. Every distance can be run or walked, timing is optional, and registration includes a bag with a T-shirt, a finisher's medal and a digital training pack.

This sweet-themed road race is about fun rather than performance. The 5K suits newer runners or anyone keeping a friend company; the 10K assumes a few weeks of regular running; the half marathon calls for at least two months of preparation, with a long run built up gradually to 10–11 miles (16–18 km). The early start is worth rehearsing in training, breakfast and warm-up included. The event is also a gateway to local running clubs for anyone wanting to keep the momentum going.
