Run for Chocolate 5K/10K/13.1 LOS ANGELES

Run for Chocolate 5K/10K/13.1 LOS ANGELES is run in Los Angeles, California, on February 13, 2027. The schedule puts the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run on the road at 7:30 a.m. Timing is optional and a virtual entry is available. Finishers receive a gift bag with a race shirt, a finisher towel and a medal, and everyone who registers can use the online training resources.

Mid-February is a useful spot in the year for a road half: it caps a winter of base building and leaves you fit for spring goal races. The relaxed, chocolate-themed setup means nobody will mind if you treat it as a training run rather than a race. For a first half, aim for twelve weeks of running four days a week, with the long run creeping up by a mile every week or two and an easy week every fourth.
