The SKECHERS Hot Chocolate Run is a festive running event and consumer expo held at Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza in Phoenix that combines road-race distances with a chocolate-themed post-race celebration. Runners typically choose from shorter and longer race options and converge on an on-site expo where sponsors, vendors and food stalls — including hot chocolate stations and chocolate treats — create a family-friendly festival atmosphere. The event is notable for pairing organized racing with branded finisher items and a food-and-beverage-focused finish experience.
