The Hot Chocolate is a run race and a Peachtree Road Race qualifier, so if you do well on the…read morecourse, use your time when you run on July 4th to boost your seeded wave. I have done this race twice, so you really have no idea what to expect in terms of the weather. It might be cold or it might be freezing cold. Make sure you have compression pants for this race, you will thank me later. I cannot stress it enough, do not wear cotton clothing, as it does not wick away your sweat. You will be running 15K (9.3 miles) and as you run, you will be sweating and all that sweat will be absorbed by your clothing and wet and freezing cold weather will make you extremely sick... not a good combo. So wear polyester fibers... or better yet wearing cold gear... This race is known for their goodie bags, hot chocolate, banana, melted chocolate, a bag of snacks and a very cool fleece jacket that you should not wear during the race. Overall, this is a fun race, something I would recommend at least once. [Review #491] (76th Review of 2017)

Date: January 22, 2017 Location: Centennial Park…read more I will definitely run for chocolate! This is pretty much counterproductive for a race but great motivation to run. The Hot Chocolate is a 15k/5k race. So that's 9.3 miles or 3.5 miles. This year was my first 5K Hot Chocolate in Atlanta, I've done races from other organizers prior to this so I at least have some comparison of what to expect. The price is not too bad in terms to what you get. The race itself was fantastic. Not too hot, and not too cold. I thought the race-day organization was horrible. There were no sign anywhere telling you where things were located. I didn't get emails about purchasing a parking spot prior to the race. The finish line could be a little better identified with overhead signage instead of just side signs. Expo: I wish there was an option to get it mailed home. Parking and location sucks! Swag bag: Typically, whatever the jacket is and a bag and that's it. You get a drawstring backpack + a full-zip, fitted jacket with a cozy hood. I would have gladly paid for the hoodie with my own money. I love the practical thumb holes and slimming design. Deep front pockets are ideal for storing your keys or phone. The nice thing is, there's an area to try it on and swap if you want a different size. I wore mine to and during the race. It kept me warm since Atlanta can be pretty chilly in the morning and was great to run in! Getting to the race: some parking, but limited. Parking cost anywhere from $20-$60. I thought the location of the race was horrible! It took me literally 30 minutes to find parking. The Start: 8:20 am for the 5K. Lined up in corrals, goes on a staggered start system, which is appreciated. During the race: I would say if you really need to drink often or more often than 2 mile increments, you will need to carry some water with you. FINISHER MEDAL Only the 15k runners get the new medal. Now, if you know much about the Hot Chocolate race series, you know that the finish line is the BEST part!! You get HOT CHOCOLATE! AND, you get chocolate fondue, a banana, Rice Krispy Treat, cookies and pretzels. OH, and a marshmallow! I couldn't wait to get those treats! Overall, this was a fun race that everyone should try at least once.

The Atlanta Zombie walk is one of the best events of the year. Rain or shine hundreds of zombies…read moregather and shuffle from Oakland Cemetery to Underground Atlanta. Then they either catch the Marta train back or are forced to shuffle back on foot by the Marta police. Sure some zombies drink to much and maybe cause a little vandalism. But really it is not like the blood wont wash away after all. Dogs, kids, family, and friends are all welcome. atlantahorrorfest.com/ not sure if they are still the guys that plan it but they had done a great job in the past.

Do you want to smear fake blood all over your friends, carry adult sodas down the road with a bunch…read moreof strangers, drag fake limbs around, scream excessively at bystanders, tromp thru Oakland Cematary covered in nastiness, scare people at Underground, get A LOT of strange looks riding Marta? Do ya? Well, this event is for you!! We've participated in this for 3 years now, with some varying results. There is usually a planned route and some order but mostly people just get lost and smear fake blood down buildings and shit. Yeah, that's freakin' fun and you know you want to join. The cops don't seem to notice the open containers in your hands when you look like you got struck by bus full of chicken guts. They just gawk like the rest and continue on their day. Brilliant! Last year, we took a stroll thru Woodruff Park to pay the Occupy Atlanta protestors a visit. While shouting stuff like, "Give up Brains or give us death" and other lame shit like that we chased down unsuspecting protestors and looker-ons! It was hilarious. They have movie make-up people at the meeting place to assist with your make-up for a small donation. If you need help, I will spit blood on you, don't hesitate to ask. Come have fun with us next year, you won't regret it, well maybe not.

I love this race…read more I have done the full marathon twice now and it just gets better every year. The real reason this race is so great is the course. It really showcases the best of Atlanta. From Downtown, to Sweet Auburn, Inman Park and Candler Park. Through Decatur and Druid Hills, Midtown and Va-Hi, you get a tour of all that is great about Atlanta. And since it is run in the spring, all of our glorious trees are out in bloom. Warning, Atlanta is hilly and so is this race, but it is so worth it. The crowd support is growing - great on the first 13, dwindling toward the end, but in a few years will be up there with the other big city marathons. The water stops have now been "outsourced" to charity and corporate partners, and since there is a competition, the partners go all out., which makes the race a lot of fun, since every few miles you get to encounter a team of volunteers excited to cheer you on. If you plan on doing 26.2 in the peach state, this marathon will blow you away.

Worst marathon course I have ever ran (out of 15 different courses). It was all hills and…read moreneighborhoods. I flew down here to run and see the city.... Not to see what real estate you have to offer and the security systems and landscaping. I don't give a hoot what homes are in sale and who did their yard and what security they have.Only reason why this trip wasn't a utter waste of time is because I am visiting my best friend at the same time. The marathon itself.. one star. I am definitely NOT coming back to run this and nowhere close to considering it either. BUT 5 stars to all the volunteers.
