It\u2019s there when we\u2019re happy. It\u2019s there when we\u2019re sad. Heck, it\u2019s even there when we\u2019re eating because we\u2019re in between House of Cards episodes and the remote is too far away.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s only one downside, chocolate isn\u2019t particularly good for you.<\/p>\n<p>Well, wouldn\u2019t you feel better working for your chocolate? Nothing screams rewarding some intense physical activity like downing a goodie bag of chocolate, right?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where the Hot Chocolate 15\/5K comes in. There\u2019s hot chocolate, dark chocolate, and even a semi-eaten chocolate finisher medal to reward your intense exertion.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the big ol\u2019 post-race party in <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/grant-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grant Park<\/a> looks way too fun.

Well, don\u2019t worry about it. Take a stab at the 5K, or even take on the two-mile walk. There\u2019s something for everyone (and you\u2019re still going to get chocolate and a pretty rockin\u2019 shirt regardless).<\/p>\n<p>Hate to break it to you, but it\u2019s really not all about you either. The official charity of the race is the Ronald McDonald House Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana. Raise a certain amount of money, and you can even run for free. The run is also actively seeking volunteers, so consider taking part.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to sign up?
