Asheville, North Carolina (United States of America) - "Asheville Hot Chocolate Races". The Asheville Hot Chocolate races has been the highlight of Western North Carolina's winter running season since 2008. The race began as a simple 10k with a 1k kids hill climb. The race grew as a family event and so the short, 100 yard Marshmallow Dash was added for the newest little runners. In 2018 we added a much requested 5k to the line up. And lastly, in 2022, we emerged from the pandemic with an added challenge, our newest distance, the Hot Chocolate Half Marathon! Unfortunately, due to the distruction of a lot of the half marathon course from Hurricane Helene we skipped the half marathon distance in 2025 but it will make a triumphant reurn in 2026!!! With a downhill start and an up hill finish the meat of the race is a beautiful run along the French Broad River. The race benefits the Isaac Dickson Parent Teacher Organization which in turn supports the teachers, students and families of our school. www.hotchocolateraces.com

Houston, Texas (United States of America) - "Houston Roast Run & Comedy Show". Welcome to the Houston Roast Run & Comedy Show, where endurance meets embarrassment and punchlines come with a side of lactic acid. This one-of-a-kind event features a 5K(ish) on the scenic Buffalo Bayou Trails - but with a twist. Along the course, you'll be heckled - err, motivated - by professional comedians stationed throughout the route, armed with microphones and zero chill. They'll be roasting your stride, your outfit, and probably your life choices, all in good fun. (Mostly.) After you've limped through the finish line and rebuilt your ego, stick around for a post-race comedy show featuring three of Houston's top comedians. Prefer to skip the cardio and go straight to the comedy? You can do that too - comedy show-only tickets are available. Whether you're here to run, laugh, or just get publicly roasted without the hassle of a family holiday, we've got you covered. https://runsignup.com/Race/TX/Houston/RoastRun?aflt_token=Nktw0AUB3nF4FPeh7Y7AWqQewFdw9sGt
