Cupid's Chase 5K York

Cupid's Chase 5K York takes place in York, Pennsylvania, on February 13, 2027. The program holds one distance, a 5K (3.1 miles), with the start at 10:00 AM.

Racing 3.1 miles well is mostly a question of restraint in the first eight or nine minutes. Go out at a pace you could hold for five miles, spend the middle section concentrating rather than drifting, then commit over the final half mile when the finish is close enough to justify it. To get the most from that plan, spend the weeks beforehand running easy most days with one weekly session of shorter, faster repeats. A 10:00 AM start means you can eat breakfast at a normal hour and still have time to warm up.
