Valentine's Day Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO

Valentine's Day Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO takes place in Sacramento, California, on February 13, 2027. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all start at 7:30 a.m., and chocolate stations, volunteers and photo opportunities are set out along the way. Everyone finishing in person receives a race shirt, a participant kit and a finisher medal, with treats at the finish; a virtual option is available for runners who cannot attend.

Open to every level, the event tends to attract as many people running their first race as people racing hard. If 13.1 miles is new territory, give yourself twelve weeks, run four days a week, and let the long run grow by no more than a mile at a time. Race morning then becomes a question of execution rather than fitness: start steady, and save the chocolate for the finish.
