About the Hot Chocolate Run

The route heads out from Linwood Avenue toward downtown Bel Air, winding through the neighborhood on roads and sidewalks before looping back. The course is self-timed and stroller friendly, so the pace is entirely your own. It is part of a recurring series put on by a local running club.

Hot chocolate is out at the finish, which is a fine reason to show up on a cool morning. The start and finish are on Linwood Avenue, so logistics are simple.
