Join us on Saturday February 11th 2023 for the Love On The Run Valentine’s “Live Virtual” 5k/10k. This is no ordinary virtual run.

All participants will receive the custom one of a kindLove On The Run race medal, with age group winners receiving the engraving for their medal back.

Please select the "medal only" option, and you can run it virtually whenever you like. But, keep in mind, you won't be eligible for age group awards (engraving on your medal) or to be counted among the "official" times posted after race day.******
