Run for Chocolate 5k/10k/13.1 TAMPA

Run for Chocolate 5k/10k/13.1 TAMPA takes place in Tampa, Florida, on February 13, 2027. The morning includes a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K, a 5K and a one-mile family fun run, all starting at 7:30 a.m., with optional timing and a virtual entry for those who need it. Every finisher receives a gift bag holding a race shirt, a finisher towel and a medal, and online training resources come with registration.

Florida's road racing calendar is busy in February, and this event trades speed credentials for a relaxed, chocolate-flavoured morning. It is a sensible first half marathon, with a spread of distances that lets you drop down if the build does not go to plan. Twelve weeks with one long run each week, ideally at conversational effort, prepares most runners who already have a 5K or 10K behind them.
