Celebrate Valentine's Day by joining our enchanting Valentine’s Run! This special edition event invites runners and walkers from all walks of life, whether you're running solo or with loved ones. Embrace the joy and love that fills the air as we celebrate this romantic day. Overview: This run promises to be a sell-out quick due to its popularity. Once each wave reaches capacity, sign-ups will close for that specific time slot. For those who miss out on spots in the live event, we offer a virtual option or you can join our waitlist. The Valentine’s Run is designed as a small, intimate group with limited participants per wave. All paces and ages (under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian) are welcome to run or walk at their own pace. Our coordinators will ensure a warm and stress-free environment for everyone involved. When you register, our team provides the necessary support to help achieve your fitness goals, including invitations to local running clubs that can further enhance your journey. Timing: Participants have the option to track their time using apps like Strava or RunKeeper without the need for timing chips. This run focuses on personal achievement and enjoyment rather than competitive timings. What You Get (Swag Bag): Each participant receives a complimentary running T-shirt, which will be shipped directly to your address in the US, along with a finisher’s towel or giveaway item, and a beautiful finisher's medal! Additionally, you'll have access to a digital training pack, online results, and a certificate of completion. Joining one of our local run clubs is also an option for ongoing support. Race Updates: A final update email will be sent on the Wednesday before race day with detailed information and course maps. If you sign up two weeks prior, your shirt may arrive after the event; feel free to wear any comfortable clothing during the race! Wave Times (Please Email Your Desired Time): Waves are scheduled at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM. Late runners can join upon arrival as coordinators stay for an additional three hours post-first wave start time. Virtual Run Option: For those unable to attend in person, our virtual run offers a unique training pack with digital tools that support your journey anytime and anywhere. After completing the race, you can submit results via email to receive your medal! Race Bundle: Sign up for multiple events and enjoy exclusive discounts on future runs. Sponsorships & Business Promotion: Interested in becoming a sponsor or promoting your business? We’d love to showcase what you have to offer! Visit our website for more details. Team Glo Volunteers: Join our team of volunteers dedicated to helping the community achieve their fitness goals. Fill out the volunteer form at https://www.thebestraces.com/volunteer-form/. Charity Initiatives: For every mile run after the event, we'll donate $1 to one of our partnering charities (fundraising is optional). Be part of a journey that celebrates love and fitness! Register today for an unforgettable Valentine’s Run.
