This year Hot Chocolate had to go virtual, so a friend of mine put together a small event. I will mostly focus on Hot Chocolate's end of it. They let us know early on that the event would be virtual, and the emails were frequent and informative. I got my swag the week before the event so I was able to bring it to the mini event that my friend put on. I even got an email letting me know that my swag was on the way. They sent us hot cocoa mix, chocolates, a jacket, a bib, and the bling, all in a reusable drawstring backpack. The facebook event page was interactive during race day, and I even won a race entry for a future race for answering one of their posts! overall a great event, and I am looking forward to doing it live again in 2022!!
