On 9 November 2025, Kona Chocolate Runs will host three main race distances: 5K, 10K, and a 15K “Double Up” (run the 5K then continue into the 10K). A kids’ 800 m Fun Run also kicks off the morning. The course is flat, fast, and scenic — winding around Belle Isle with views of Detroit skyline, the Ambassador Bridge, and Windsor’s waterfront. Every finisher is welcomed to a legendary chocolate buffet featuring hot cocoa, chocolate fondue, baked goods, dippables, and more, turning the finish area into a chocolate lover’s paradise. The first 600 registrants receive a special chocolate jacket, and everyone receives a custom oversized finisher medal.
