Hot Chocolate Run - Dallas

Hot Chocolate Run - Dallas is held in Dallas, Texas, on February 6, 2027, with three road distances: a 15K (9.3 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K. Start times are not listed, so confirm your wave with the organizer when you pick up your bib.

The 15K is the interesting one. It sits between the 10K and the half marathon, a distance most runners never race, and it is long enough that you cannot bluff your way through on speed alone. Treat it as a half-marathon-pace effort with a little extra at the end, and plan a long run of 10 to 12 miles in the weeks beforehand. The 10K and 5K need much less: consistent weekly mileage and one faster session will cover them both. Three distances also means a group can enter together and still finish around the same time.
