Run for Chocolate 5K/10K/13.1 SEATTLE 2026

Chocolate awaits at the finish line of this Seattle run, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances starting from Lincoln Park in West Seattle. This is a small, private group run with capped waves, beginning at 7:30 AM PDT on a road course described as fast and flat. It accommodates both runners and walkers of all paces, and participants under 18 are permitted with a guardian. The format is more relaxed than a chip-timed event; timing is optional, and participants can use apps to track their own times, with coordinators available to assist in recording times for online results. Finishers get a medal, a towel or other giveaway, a running shirt mailed to U.S. registrants, a digital training pack, and a completion certificate. Waves close upon reaching capacity, and runners who miss out can opt for a virtual race or join a waitlist.
