Nick Burger's thoughts:

It's been 11 months since I've ran an in person race. Last summer everything going virtual was an exciting and new way to keep the running community moving and engaged with each other. Like many others, now a year in, it's beginning to lose its appeal. I crave the lined streets, the crowded start, the noise, the expo, the added fun and thrill of everyone. That being said, the Hot Chocolate 15k is up there with the best virtual races I've ran. My swag came in a week before race day - my bib, a super comfortable full zip hooded sweatshirt (with detachable hood), a Nuun Sport tablet and a Honey Stinger waffle which I gladly paired for some pre-race nutrition, some chocolates, a finisher medal shaped like a chocolate (that opens to reveal an actual chocolate), and of course, two packets of double dark chocolate hot chocolate! They really went all out on the swag and I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

One of the great things about running a virtual race is that location doesn't matter. Living in Syracuse, NY made this run a little sweeter (hard to imagine given a CHOCOLATE run!?). Temperatures in the teens and a light snow made that post run hot chocolate taste even better! The proceeds are also donated to St Jude's Children's Hospital which is reason enough to add this race to your calendar! With 22 cities/dates to choose from it couldn't be any easier to join in on the fun! I will definitely be running this race again in the future and would even travel to run in person if the opportunity arises!
