Course Limit Information

Please note that a 15 minute mile pace or faster is required for both the 5k and 15k race distances. A 15 min. mile pace is roughly four miles per hour, equivalent to a very brisk walk. If you fall below this pace, the race organizers can no longer guarantee course support. Aid Stations, medical support, portable toilets, and road closures will begin to become unavailable to participants. The local police and race organizers will ask you to reroute to a shorter version of the course, or move up onto the sidewalk where you will be required to obey regular traffic laws.

If you need help keeping up your pace during the 15k, look for official Hot Chocolate pacers in your corral. These are marked runners with the sole objective of helping you by keeping a consistent pace throughout the course. Pacers will be outfitted in matching shirts, and are available for a 7 minute per mile pace all the way to a 15 minute per mile pace. These experienced runners will be holding signs that show the pace they are keeping.


Start Corrals

The Allstate Hot Chocolate 15k/5k uses assigned start corrals to maintain a safe, fast, and fun course for all participants. Your corral assignment will be emailed to you approximately two weeks prior to the race and will be printed on your race bib. Please be in your corral five minutes prior to the start of your race. There will be a break of approximately three minutes between each corral.


Results

The Allstate Hot Chocolate 15k/5k is an officially timed event using an industry leading disposable chip timing system. The timing system provides each participant with an accurate time from the start to the finish line as well as on course splits. You’ll see timing clocks along the USATF-certified course, as well as at the finish line. Results will stream live online in real-time, so you and your fans can check your time right after crossing the finish line.
