Cupid's Chase 5K Annapolis

Cupid's Chase 5K Annapolis is held in Annapolis, Maryland, on February 13, 2027, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 10:00 a.m. Elevation gain is not listed for the course. The mid-morning start is a friendly one for a February race, since it gives the air a few hours to warm before you line up.

Valentine's weekend 5Ks tend to draw a mixed field, which makes them a comfortable place to run your first race and still a legitimate test if you want to push. To race it, spend the last three weeks doing one interval session and one steady 20-minute run each week, and keep everything else easy. To simply finish it, three run-walk sessions a week for a month is plenty. Either way, arrive early enough for 10 minutes of jogging, because a cold start line and a fast opening quarter mile are a bad combination.
