National Chocolate Day Run for Chocolates DENVER/AURORA 2026

The National Chocolate Day Run for Chocolates Denver/Aurora is a chocolate-themed run in Centennial, Colorado, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances. It takes place in September, beginning at Piney Creek Hollow Park, where runners and walkers select the distance and pace that suit them. This is a smaller, private group run, not a chip-timed road race, and each wave has a participant limit. Timing is optional; participants may track themselves using apps such as Strava, RunKeeper, or Nike Run, or request assistance from coordinators for time recording. The finish-line reward is straightforward: chocolate awaits, along with a finisher medal and a towel or giveaway. Registration also includes a mailed running shirt, online results, a completion certificate, a digital training pack, and an invitation to join local running clubs.
