Race Information

Over the years the Valentine Run/Walk has become a classic event for individuals, families, and teams of all ages and abilities. The Valentine Run/Walk is kid friendly, stroller friendly, and canine-companion friendly! Participants are encouraged to wear their hearts on their sleeves, socks, tutus, onesies and collars to compete for best dressed awards and to show their love of the Valentine Run/Walk.

We are excited to announce that the Valentine Run/Walk will be returning in-person at the Country Club Plaza Mall. (Subject to county health guidance.) Can't join us in-person? Participants can still join the race as virtual runners!
