Run for Chocolate 5K/10K/13.1 KANSAS CITY

Run for Chocolate 5K/10K/13.1 KANSAS CITY takes over Kansas City on February 13, 2027, with the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all leaving at 7:30 a.m. Whether you are timed is up to you, and a virtual entry is offered for runners who would rather cover the distance on their own schedule. Each finisher takes home a gift bag that includes a race shirt, a finisher towel and a medal, and online training material comes with the entry.

Because the event is themed and the atmosphere is unhurried, this is a road half that welcomes walkers and first-timers alongside people hunting a personal best. If you are new to 13.1, a run-walk pattern from the start line, say nine minutes running and one walking, is a more reliable way to finish strong than going out with the fast group. Three months of consistent weekly mileage is the main ingredient.
