Love on the Run 5k

Love on the Run 5k is run on the closed roadway of Forest Park Drive in the Richmond Hill neighborhood of Queens, New York, on February 14, 2027, starting at 10:00 AM. The atmosphere is family-friendly and open to all ages, and costumes are encouraged for this Valentine's Day event. Registered participants receive a custom beanie, a commemorative color bib and a finisher medal, with treats and special drinks at both the start and the finish.

A road closed to traffic is worth appreciating in New York: no intersections, no waiting, and a clean line to run the tangents. That makes the 5K a fair place to chase a time, though the costumes and the party atmosphere suggest most people will not. Either way, the distance needs little preparation, and three runs a week for a month will carry a beginner comfortably to the finish.
