Amazing experience running this year’s Houston Hot Chocolate 15k!
I enjoyed everything about it.
Starting with the expo the day before at the Minute Maid Park in Downtown Houston, kudos for choosing such an amazing place. Enjoyed every minute of it, I got my package, The swag is just amazing! Visited different tables with great information, did some shopping, enjoyed the spectacular views of the baseball field. And it smell delicious because they had chocolate, marshmallows and hot chocolate every where.
Race day I was nervous, it was my first 15k. Everything was very organized and very well put together. Race started right on time.
I truly enjoyed the race course. You start at the heart of downtown and make it all the way to Memorial park. Very nice views of the buildings, city life and of the parks. Aid stations were well situated and the energy of the volunteers was contagious, they had hydration drinks, marshmallows, water, energy gummies, very well thought.
The celebration at the end was absolutely fantastic. Great big green area to sit, relax, enjoy the music and of course the amazing hot chocolate and s’mores they had for each runner. I’m so thankful that I was given the opportunity to run in this race, I had the best time. See you next year for more hot chocolate!
