About
The Asheville Hot Chocolate Races are a highlight of Western North Carolina's winter running season, featuring a Half Marathon, 10K and 5K alongside a 1K Kids Hill Climb and a short Marshmallow Dash for young children. What began as a simple 10K has grown over time into a multi-distance family event with something for every age of runner.
