About the YMCA of Pueblo Hot Chocolate 5K
This is a winter road race put on by the local YMCA, with hot chocolate waiting at the finish. The organizer is upfront that the weather can be rough, so expect anything from cold pavement to mud underfoot depending on what the season brings. Packet pickup happens at the Y on race morning before the start.
Prizes go to top finishers across age and gender divisions. There is no race-day registration, so plan ahead. The Y handles pickup the morning of the race, which keeps things simple if you are coming straight from the car.
