Cupid's Chase 5K Latrobe

Cupid's Chase 5K Latrobe is run in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on February 13, 2027. A single 5K (3.1 miles) is scheduled, starting at 10:00 AM.

For a first-ever race, 3.1 miles on the road is close to ideal: far enough to feel like an achievement, short enough that the training fits around an ordinary week. Six to eight weeks of running or run-walking three times a week, building the longest outing to about two miles, will get most beginners to the finish. Experienced runners get something different out of the same morning, namely a chance to test where their speed is early in the year. The 10:00 AM start suits both groups, leaving time for breakfast and a warm-up jog rather than a scramble.
