Cupid's Chase 5K Butler

Cupid's Chase 5K Butler takes place in Franklin Township, Pennsylvania, on February 13, 2027. A single 5K (3.1 miles) is offered, starting at 10:00 a.m., and elevation gain is not listed for the route.

Western Pennsylvania is rolling country, so it is sensible to assume a course with some undulation and to train for it rather than hope otherwise. One weekly hill session, six to eight repetitions of 45 seconds uphill with an easy jog back down, will make more difference over 3.1 miles than any amount of extra flat mileage. Race it by effort on the climbs and let gravity do the work on the way down, keeping your stride quick rather than long. Mid-February can be genuinely cold here, so plan a longer warm-up indoors or in the car if the wind is up.
