The SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run in Columbus takes place on November 15, 2026, with a pre‑event Expo and packet pickup on November 14 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Runners can choose a 5K, 10K or 15K course that winds through downtown landmarks such as the Scioto River Bridge, Nationwide Arena and historic neighborhoods. All registrants receive a full‑zip race jacket, commemorative bib, finisher’s medal and a chocolate‑themed mug. The optional VIP Cocoa Club and Ghirardelli Cocoa Club upgrades add premium swag, a dedicated lounge, hot breakfast, exclusive Ghirardelli hot cocoa, a $35 store credit and preferred corral placement. After the race, participants gather for a post‑race party featuring chocolate fondue, music and vendor booths. An Expo offers free kit pickup, merchandise, and sponsor displays. Awards include overall and age‑group prizes with cash and free next‑year registration. Additional services cover live runner tracking, hotel discounts, parking options, and a packet‑mailing service (deadline Oct 26, 2025).
