Cupid's Chase 5K Key West

Cupid's Chase 5K Key West takes place in Key West, Florida, on February 13, 2027. A single 5K (3.1 miles) is on the schedule, starting at 9:00 AM.

Three miles run at full effort is over quickly, and the mistake nearly everyone makes is spending too much of it in the first half. A negative split works better: control the opening mile, settle in through the middle, and let the pace come down once you can see the last stretch. The training that supports it is unremarkable, a month of running four days a week with one session of intervals at 5K effort, plus a genuine warm-up beforehand, because a 5K starts at close to race pace and there is no time to ease into it. Newer runners can walk part of the distance without the morning being any less worthwhile.
