Celebrate Valentine's Day by joining our enchanting run through scenic trails and charming landscapes. This special edition of the Valentine’s Run offers an intimate setting for runners, walkers, or those running with loved ones. Whether you’re solo or part of a duo or group, this event is designed to spread love and joy. Participants can sign up in advance, but be aware that waves will fill quickly—once they're full, no more entries are accepted until the next wave opens. For runners who miss out on an early start, we also offer a virtual run option for your convenience. The Valentine’s Run is perfect for all paces and ages (under 18 with guardian). Our coordinators ensure a warm, stress-free environment to support you in achieving your fitness goals. You’ll receive comprehensive training resources online and the opportunity to join local running clubs that will further enhance your journey. Timing is optional; if desired, runners can track their times using apps like Strava or RunKeeper and submit them via our easy form for public display. We emphasize a stress-free approach, with no timing chips required, making it an ideal event for anyone looking to enjoy the run without pressure. Upon registration, you’ll receive a running t-shirt shipped directly to your address in the United States (please ensure accurate details). Other perks include a finisher’s towel or giveaway item, and a medal. A digital training pack is provided along with online results and a certificate of completion. For those who prefer technical shirts, an upgrade can be made for just $5 more. Packet pickup isn’t necessary; we ship your swag directly to you before the event, ensuring you have everything you need on race day. Wave times are set at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM, with late arrivals welcome upon arrival as our coordinators stay for an additional three hours post-first wave. If there’s anything else you'd like to know, please visit our FAQ page or contact us. Virtual runners can participate at their own pace and location using any tracking device of choice. After completing the run, they can submit results to receive a medal. For those interested in more races, we offer discounts when signing up for multiple events. We also welcome sponsors and businesses looking to promote their brands; our volunteer team is always on hand to support community runs. Join us this Valentine’s Day and be part of something truly special—a race that combines love, fitness, and community spirit. Keep running, knowing your miles will contribute to charity initiatives.
