The Kona Chocolate Run is a festive fun chocolate-filled event for the entire family with some great running thrown in to start the morning off. This event includes a variety of races: a fun run, 5k, 10k, and a unique 15k Double Up event where participants can run both the 10k and 5k consecutively. The event is known for its vibrant and fun atmosphere, welcoming participants of all abilities. Chocolate enthusiasts are of course welcome. Held in November, the Kona Chocolate Run transforms the venue into Michigan’s largest chocolate party.
The event features an 8-station fully served chocolate buffet, including hot chocolate, chocolate baked goods, chocolate candies, chocolate dipping, chocolate popcorn, chocolate milk, and other chocolate treats, all amidst the festive holiday atmosphere. For runners, the event provides a scenic course that starts with a flat stretch, moves through a beautiful residential area with rolling hills, and finishes with a great jaunt up the chocolate chute.
Race amenities include custom medals, the highly coveted chocolate jacket to the first 600 registered, a long sleeve shirt after that, and for the Double Up 15k participants, a special Kona winter hat. Participants are encouraged to register early due to perks like reduced fees and best race swag around.
Overall, the Kona Chocolate Run is celebrated for its fun environment, extensive chocolate offerings, and community-oriented atmosphere, making it a must-experience event for both local and visiting runners who have come from neighboring states as the word has spread about this chocolate lover’s dream.
Join us for the ultimate Chocolate Run, hosted by Michigan’s newest state park, Belle Isle, Detroit, Mi. Offering distances for every level: 5k, 10k, and 15k. Perfect for novice and seasoned runners, this event promises a great running event and an indulgent celebration of all things chocolate.
