National Chocolate Day: Run for Chocolates 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA

Lace up your running shoes and get ready for a deliciously sweet challenge at the National Chocolate Day: Run for Chocolates 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA on Saturday, September 12, 2026. This event, hosted in Atlanta, GA, promises to be the "sweetest run of the year" for chocolate lovers of all ages and fitness levels. Choose your indulgence from a 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, or a Half Marathon (13.1M) distance along the scenic South Peachtree Creek Trail.

Designed as a smaller, private group run, this event focuses on creating a warm, stress-free, and supportive atmosphere for all participants, whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a leisurely stroll. Timing is optional, allowing you to track your progress with your preferred app or simply enjoy the experience without the pressure of timing chips. As a reward for your efforts, all finishers receive a commemorative medal and, of course, delicious chocolates at the finish line!

Expect typical race day conditions in Atlanta to be pleasant for running, with historical highs around 86°F and lows near 65°F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation. Beyond the finish line treats, your registration includes a running t-shirt shipped directly to your address, eliminating the need for packet pickup, and a digital training pack to support your journey. Coordinators will be on hand to provide water and snacks along the course, ensuring you stay refreshed. This popular event often sells out quickly, so secure your spot for a truly unique and enjoyable race experience.
