ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO HOT CHOCOLATE 15K/5K TRAINING PLANS

In 2014, the inaugural Hot Chocolate San Francisco 15K/5K was held. Since then, it's grown to become one of the most popular races in the Bay Area, with over 10,000 participants coming together in Golden Gate Park. This event takes place in early January, and the Bay Area's winter temps are about as nice as a runner could want. Make sure that you're as prepared as you can be by following a Hot Chocolate San Francisco 15K training plan or Hot Chocolate San Francisco 5K training plan from Custom Training Plans. Every one of our Hot Chocolate San Francisco training plans takes your race goals, experience level, and the course itself into consideration to help you get ready to run your best race.

San Francisco Hot Chocolate 15K/5K Training Plans

The Hot Chocolate courses are relatively flat for San Francisco, making this an attractive race for both 15K and 5K runners. Whether you’re lacing up your shoes for your first 5K race ever or aiming for a new personal best to kick off your New Year, CTP can help. Every one of our Hot Chocolate San Francisco training plans is completely customizable to suit your present fitness level, helping you to train for your race at an intensity level that’s just right for you.

Whether you’re running a 5K or a 15K, it’s key to follow a program that’s tailored to your needs. Using a generic plan can lead to injury or burnout that can stop your race before it even begins. At Custom Training Plans, we consult with professional trainers to create training plans that provide the intensity that’s right for you and your current level. Following a CTP Hot Chocolate San Francisco 15K training plan or Hot Chocolate San Francisco 5K training plan can make a significant difference during your race prep.

Our method

  1. Certified Coaches

    With the expertise of USATF certified coaches and physical therapists, we built an advanced model to weigh the effects of runner-specific variables on training outcomes.

  2. Custom Race Profile

    We analyzed unique characteristics of hundreds of races across the country to build a “race profile” into our model that accounts for elevation gain, altitude, time of year, and more.

  3. Training Plan Model

    Our model generates a unique training plan for you and your race, and all plans are reviewed by a coach and hand-tweaked before they make their way to you.
