The KONA Chocolate Run launched with everyone wanting the Kona Jacket. 15 years later it has evolved with a fast flat course, and packed with unforgettable views. Set on the scenic roads of Belle Isle, runners take in the Detroit skyline, the Ambassador Bridge, the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and Windsor’s waterfront. With wide, paved roads and no traffic, it’s perfect for personal bests or a relaxed, scenic run. Choose from the 5K, 10K, or 15K. And don’t forget to bring the family—the Kids 800m Sweet Fun Run kicks things off with big cheers and chocolatey smiles. Whether racing or cheering, there's something sweet for everyone on race day.

After the race, indulge in the KONA Chocolate Run’s legendary Chocolate Buffet—featuring hot cocoa, chocolate-dipped treats, cakes, muffins, ice cream, and more across multiple stations.

Every participant receives a custom finisher medal, an exclusive KONA Chocolate jacket. The event also includes age group awards, a festive atmosphere, and plenty of post-race fun. It's more than a run—it’s a full-on celebration of fitness, fun, and all things chocolate.
