Event details

Run for Chocolate 5K/10K/13.1 DENVER/AURORA is scheduled for Saturday, July 4, 2026, at Piney Creek Hollow Park, 6140 South Tower Road, Centennial, Colorado, U.S.A. The event offers multiple distance options:

  • 5K
  • 10K
  • Half-marathon (13.1)
  • Virtual Run
  • Family 1 Mile

The on-site event is organized in capped waves; waves are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. The organizer describes this as a smaller, private group run with coordinator support and no timing chips.

Entries, timing and services

Registration prices listed run from about $39.74 to $50.48 depending on the distance. Prices are shown as inclusive of mandatory charges. Timing is optional: participants may self-track with an app and submit results, or request that coordinators help record times. No timing chips are used.

Registered participants receive mailed swag for U.S. addresses, including a running T-shirt (shipped the week of the race), a finisher's medal, a finisher's towel or giveaway, and a digital training pack. Race bibs are provided on race day. The event posts online results and issues certificates of completion. A virtual option allows completion anywhere and provides the same medal and training materials. Final race details and course maps are emailed the Wednesday before the event.
