Find your spandex and tighten your laces for Sunday's Safari Run, to be held at UNM's north golf course. This run comes in several varieties—a 1k for kids and a 5k or 8k for adults. What makes the race stand out from the pack is where the entry fees will be channeled. In this case, all the cash supports Global Health Partnerships, a nonprofit organization that provides medical and other humanitarian aid to rural communities in Kenya. This fun run for a good cause kicks off at 8:30am with a $10-$35 buy in. (Maggie Grimason)

I hear chocolate is good for you. Coffee, too. I suppose I could look it up, but then I might find something that disputes those wonderful claims, and I don't know if I could live with that. Instead, I'll just keep repeating it while I eat and drink my weight in the stuff at the Southwest Chocolate and Coffee Fest. This Saturday and Sunday, March 25 and 26, at the Manuel Lujan building at Expo NM, the best chocolatiers, coffee roasters, candy makers, bakers, breweries and wineries will converge to bring you a day of pure decadence. The kids can keep themselves busy with activities and face painting while you gorge yourself on live entertainment, cooking demos and a number of contests that will leave you bloated and begging for insulin. The festival starts at 10am. Tickets prices start at $10 for adults. (Joshua Lee)

City on the Edge is a breezy, smart podcast looking at the stories from Albuquerque history that have often been overlooked. Each episode takes a deep dive into a topic like the 1955 crash of TWA flight 260, Sandia Man or the 1918 quarantine. Worthwhile listening that will spur your curiosity about things you didn’t even know about in the city where you live. It’s free and available wherever you get your podcasts. (Clarke Condé)

Looking for a little chile? The 2020 Bosque Chile Festival, a celebration of food, art, and culture on the Rio Grande, is happening Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16, with times waiting to be officially announced. But due to COVID-19 and the State of New Mexico public health order, the festival will be presented virtually! There will still be entertainment, art activities, a virtual artisan market, chile-chef demonstrations, educational workshops and more. This free, all-ages event is meant to give those stuck at home a chance to see what the state has to offer. If you are a high-quality chile-inspired and authentic New Mexican business with an e-commerce website and want to be a vendor, there is still time. Applications are being accepted until Wednesday, August 5. For more information email bosquechilefestival@bernco.gov.
