# Event Details

- **Event Name**: 2026 Hot Chocolate Races
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 am
- **Event Description**: The Asheville Hot Chocolate races has been the highlight of Western North Carolina’s winter running season since 2008. The race began as a simple 10k with a 1k kids hill climb. The race grew as a family event and so the short, 100 yard Marshmallow Dash was added for the newest little runners. In 2018 we added a much requested 5k to the line up. And lastly, in 2022, we emerged from the pandemic with an added challenge, our newest distance, the Hot Chocolate Half Marathon! Unfortunately, due to the distruction of a lot of the half marathon course from Hurricane Helene we skipped the half marathon distance in 2025 but it will make a triumphant reurn in 2026!!! 

 The race benefits the Isaac Dickson Parent Teacher Organization which in turn supports the teachers, students and families of our school. Learn more and donation to their efforts here. Isaac Dickson PTO.
Choose from the Marshmallow Dash for the littlest runners, the 1k Hill Climb for the big kids or one of our timed races; 5k, 10k or Half Marathon distances.
