I have run the Allstate Chicago Hot Chocolate Race many times and so I knew the virtual experience would be just as great! With the virtual experience you have the flexibility of choosing the race day and time! Lucky for me, I live in Chicago! I made my own virtual race experience during the planned race weekend of November 7-8th. You have until January 1, 2021 to log your race results!

The race coordinators were very good about sending information to the runners. The race also had an event day Facebook page for each specific host city. This really made the race feel like a community!

It was really easy to log your time and feel included! The swag was amazing! they sent a hooded, zip up sweater with a removable hood. This is such a great winter running piece. They also included two servings of hot cocoa, chocolate, honey stinger waffles and your MEDAL! I received all of this swag before race day so I was able to enjoy it right after my 15k race.

Feeling this close to the Allstate Hot Chocolate race community virtually, I can't wait to be back in person next November! Highly recommend visiting Chicago and running this race! no better way to see this city!
