As I said, I ran the race last year and enjoyed it. It was a chilly November morning but I flew once my legs got warmed up. I beat my goal of 1:20 by finishing in 1:18:52, that's 8:28/mile pace! Definitely one of my faster races and a PR since I haven't run a 15k before. I like the distance because it's not quite a half marathon but more challenging than a 10k. The 15k or 10 mile race distance is probably my favorite. You can also do the 5k of course!
Besides getting chocolate at the end, the technical hoodie in the swag bag is also one of my favorites. It's perfect for wearing to Blackhawks games! I'm wearing a size small, for your reference. The cities and dates for the upcoming Hot Chocolate races are listed below.
