Phong Chieng's thoughts:

I've wanted to run this race for many years now. I still remember seeing this race being advertised at a race expo back in 2012. While a run that offered hot chocolate at the end was different, what I liked about it more was that they offered a nice running jacket instead of a medal. At that time, I had collected more than enough race medals and the jacket seemed more practical since it was something I would have been able to use much more often than a medal. But I got the chance to run it until last year. I registered and even picked up my jacket at the race expo last year, but something came up and I wasn't able to attend the race. I finally got to participate in the race this year and am glad I did. It was a very organized race, and I had no issues from start to finish. The course was pretty straightforward, we ran through some streets around downtown, I didn't notice anything too scenic but it was nice that it started and finished around the same area. There were some hills throughout the course, but nothing too daunting. The chocolate was a nice treat at the end, and it was dark chocolate so I did not feel guilty eating that after the run. The Hot Chocolate Run is a great way to combine exercise and the social element of running together.
