Despite the unseasonably warm weather, the Hot Chocolate Run will forge ahead tomorrow, Sunday, March 1st. The races start at 6:45am (5K) and 7:55am (15K), so participants can likely still enjoy some hot chocolate without questioning our record-setting warm winter.

The race begins and ends at the Seattle Center, so that means roads around Lower Queen Anne will be closed. Plus, the race takes 15K runners to Green Lake and back via Aurora, so it’ll be closed to traffic as well.

According to SDOT, Aurora Avenue N/SR-99 will be closed between N 47th St and the Western Ave off-ramp from 6am to 11am, and all other streets along the route will be closed from 6:30am to approximately 11am.

  • 2nd Ave N at Seattle Center to Broad Street
  • Broad to Elliott
  • Elliott to Western
  • Western to Pike
  • Western to Aurora/SB-99
  • Aurora/NB-99 to N 47th St
  • Harrison to Dexter
  • Dexter to Mercer
  • Mercer to 5th Ave N
  • 5th Ave N to Thomas

If you have Sunday plans that involve driving north, avoid Aurora; if you have plans around Lower Queen Anne, check the map and make appropriate detours. Or, just sleep in and have a late brunch.
