Hot chocolate Chicago

Okay so I ran my first 5k last Saturday, it was a color run and my only goal was to not walk. I did it! Even more surprisingly, I liked it!! So now I'm registering for the hot chocolate race in Chicago and wondering if any newbies to running are out there and gonna be running this race??

    It's a great race but very crowded! Take public transportation and get there early!!!

    And Congrats on your color run! Be careful, participating in races gets addicting :)

    I'm SUPER EXCITED to run in downtown Chicago! A little concerned about the crowd but I think it will be fun! W
  • Races running through downtown Chicago are some of my favorite races! I'm doing hot chocolate for the first time this year and have been warned about the crowds. I'm not expecting a PR just a fun quick run. :) Hope you have a great time!

    I wanted to run it, but im running the madison half marathon next weekend and didn't want to miss 2 weekends of work in a row. Good luck and have fun!
