SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run St. Louis 2026

The SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run St. Louis is a winter running event held at Kaufman Park, offering both 5K and 15K distances. It is part of the Hot Chocolate Run series, adopting the "America's Sweetest Run" theme, meaning race day focuses on chocolate alongside the running distances. The event begins and concludes with St. Louis runners embracing the chocolate theme, whether they are casual participants or tackling the 15K. The concept is straightforward: train, run, and enjoy a treat at the finish line, creating a feel closer to a themed community run than a basic road race.
