About the Tindall Orthodontics Be My Valentine 5K and 1.5 Mile Walk
This Valentine's Day race in Manhattan runs a 5K course alongside a shorter walk option, making it a morning where couples and solo runners show up together. The 5K includes team prizes for two-person pairs across several combined-age brackets, so it draws some friendly competition alongside people who are just out for a holiday run.
Proceeds support a local high school cross country program and youth running in the Flint Hills region, and some runners come in through a student fundraising partner. If you are coming in that way, there is a spot during registration to note which athlete referred you.
