Name: Hot Chocolate Hustle
Start: 2026-01-25T08:15:00-06:00
Location: FortWhyte Alive, McCreary Road, Winnipeg, MB, Canada

Join us for our fourth annual Hot Chocolate Hustle 5km and 10km

Run or walk the beautiful trails at FortWhyte Alive and break the ice on winter running! All participants of this timed event will receive the 2026 custom swag, a finishers' medal, post-race hot chocolate. Did we mention the post-race pancake breakfast?!

Registration for this event is spread over 5 start times. The capacity of each wave is determined to allow enough seating for breakfast and a better trail running experience. For these reasons, we cannot accommodate requests to move between waves or distances.

Please consider making a donation to FortWhyte Alive with your registration.

Funds raised will help maintain the trails at FortWhyte year round, connect people from all walks of life with nature and support FortWhyte in providing hands-on, experiential environmental education for youth.
