SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run Louisville 2026

The SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run Louisville takes place in December, winding through downtown Louisville with 5K, 10K, and 15K distances. The start and finish lines are located at TurfMutt Great Lawn South, a wide waterfront park frequently hosting major events. The 5K begins in the morning, with the 10K and 15K starting together thirty minutes later. This event centers on chocolate as much as running. Participants enter a post-race gathering featuring fondue and sweet treats, and the event is known as “America’s Sweetest Run.” An optional VIP Cocoa Club offers enhanced merchandise, additional refreshments, and a dedicated lounge. Volunteers assist with the event, which is part of the larger Hot Chocolate Run series that encourages participants to train, compete, and then enjoy rewards at the finish.
