Every One’s A Winner, as Galaxy Hot Chocolate Run Series builds…
Sponsored by the Mars-owned chocolate brand Galaxy, the Galaxy Hot Chocolate Run sees entries, for this coming weekend’s third event in the series, close at 20:00 GMT today (Wednesday 18 March).The chocolate-y weekend takes place in the scenic grounds of Dorney Lake, Windsor, UK, on a flat course that leads runners around the 2012 London Olympic rowing venue. According to the Galaxy Hot Chocolate Run Series website, there are also a number of other events in the pipeline across the UK at key major cities from north to south.The running events in the series vary between 5K and 21.1K in distance, and competitors are invited to enjoy a delicious cup of hot chocolate at the finish line. All finishers will also be presented with a Hot Chocolate Run Series medal.This weekend, on Saturday 21 March there is the Galaxy Hot Chocolate Half Marathon event, in which runners follow 4.5 loops of the lake – along the flat, smooth tarmac roads and paths. And Sunday 22 March welcomes Race Three in the event series, in which runners can choose between one of four run distances – 5K, 10K, 15K or 20K.Martyn Edwards, Event Director of the Galaxy Hot Chocolate Run Series said, “We have been absolutely overwhelmed with the popularity of our Hot Chocolate events, and as a result we only have a limited number of places available for both events this weekend, so make sure you sign up soon to secure your spot.”Edwards continued, “We accommodate all ages, levels and abilities – from those embarking on their first ever event, to those taking part competitively. Most will simply enjoy their challenge in the great outdoors, in readiness for some much needed Hot Chocolate at the end. There are no cut off times either, so you can take part at your pace and relax and enjoy the surroundings!”www.hotchocolateseries.co.ukwww.galaxyhotchocolate.com Related
