Valentine's Day Run 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY

Celebrate Valentine's Day by joining our enchanting Valentine’s Run! This special edition offers an intimate and joyful experience for solo runners, couples, or friends. Embrace the spirit of love as you lace up your shoes on February 14th.
This event is designed to be inclusive with no age limit (under 18 must have a guardian) – run at your own pace! The race will fill quickly due to its popularity; once waves sell out, you can choose our virtual option or join the waitlist. Each wave has a limited number of participants for that perfect small group experience.
The event is stress-free and supportive with coordinators on hand to ensure your comfort throughout. When you sign up, we provide all the necessary encouragement to help achieve your fitness goals. Plus, there's an invitation to engage in our local run clubs where ongoing support is available.
Timing options are flexible; participants can track their times using apps like Strava or RunKeeper and submit them for online posting. Alternatively, coordinators will record your time should you prefer a more relaxed approach.
