Allstate Hot Chocolate Nashville 5K

Disclaimer: I received an entry to Allstate Hot Chocolate 5k/15k as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!

I have a great race coming up in February. This one combines two of my favorite things: chocolate and running!

I have heard some great things about the Allstate Hot Chocolate race series but never registered. I almost passed on this one because February is about the only month that is guaranteed to be brutally cold in the south. But then again, what a perfect chance to have a race with hot chocolate aid stations and finish line treats?

Runner Perks

Can you believe this participant jacket? This is much more than a t-shirt!

Finisher medals for 5K and 15K

Finisher mugs and cups featuring CHOCOLATE! The hot chocolate is gluten and nut free.

Now that I’m registered, it’s time to get some training miles in before the holidays take over. I have a home treadmill to work around the rainy weather here in Alabama.

My 5K training plan is rather mundane. I run when I can and walk when I need to walk. For fun themed races like this, I have no speed goals. I just enjoy the event! I’ll check back in January to update my couple of weeks before the race.
