Cupid's Chase 5K Austin

Cupid's Chase 5K Austin takes place in Austin, Texas, on February 13, 2027. One distance is offered, a 5K (3.1 miles), starting at 9:00 a.m. Elevation gain is not listed for the course, and the 9:00 a.m. gun sits early enough to keep the race comfortable even if central Texas serves up an unseasonably warm February morning.

Use the distance to your advantage: a 5K fits into almost any training week without disrupting it, so you can race one in the middle of a longer build without a full taper, just two easier days beforehand. If you are training for a spring half marathon, running this at hard effort gives you a reliable number to set your goal paces from. If you are new to it, remember that the first mile always feels easier than it should; hold back there and you will pass people over the last half mile.
