Please note that a 15 minute mile pace or faster is required for both the 5k and 15k race distances. A 15 min. mile pace is roughly four miles per hour, equivalent to a very brisk walk. If you fall below this pace, the race organizers can no longer guarantee course support. Aid Stations, medical support, portable toilets, and road closures will begin to become unavailable to participants. The local police and race organizers will ask you to reroute to a shorter version of the course, or move up onto the sidewalk where you will be required to obey regular traffic laws.

If you need help keeping up your pace during the 15k, look for official Hot Chocolate pacers in your corral. These are marked runners with the sole objective of helping you by keeping a consistent pace throughout the course. Pacers will be outfitted in matching shirts, and are available for a 7 minute per mile pace all the way to a 15 minute per mile pace. These experienced runners will be holding signs that show the pace they are keeping.
