National Chocolate Day: Run for Chocolates 5K/10K/13.1 ATLANTA 2026

The race.

This Atlanta race on September 12, 2026, offers four distances: 1 mile, 5K, 10K, and 13.1 miles. Participants choose from four wave start times beginning at 7:30 a.m., with waves filling on a first-come, first-served basis. All paces and ages (children under 18 must have a guardian) may run or walk. Registration includes a technical running shirt, finisher's medal, finisher's towel or giveaway item, and digital training pack; the shirt ships to your U.S. address the week of the race. Timing is optional—you may use a running app or ask coordinators to track your time. Race bibs are distributed on race day. A virtual run option is available, allowing participants to complete the distance anywhere and submit results for a medal. Participants can optionally log post-race miles to support The Best Races' charity partners.
