Cupid's Chase 5K Charleston

Cupid's Chase 5K Charleston is held in Charleston, South Carolina, on February 13, 2027, with a 5K (3.1 miles) as the only format, starting at 10:00 a.m. No elevation gain is listed.

The low country is flat, which is good news if you are hunting a time and slightly less so if you rely on hills for recovery: with no downhill sections to coast on, an even effort from start to finish is the way to run it. Set a target pace you can hold for all three miles, check it at the first mile marker, then stop looking at your watch. For a first-time racer, that same flatness makes the distance approachable after a month of run-walk sessions. February mornings in Charleston are usually mild, so dress for a race rather than for the walk to the start.
