About the CUPID DASH 5K/10K
The Cupid Dash runs on Valentine's Day in Jacksonville, and the crowd skews toward families treating the morning as a holiday outing. Red and pink turn up on a lot of runners, not required but clearly the spirit of the thing. Several distance options are available, including an untimed kids' run alongside the main timed race.
There is a virtual option for anyone who cannot make it in person. The kids' run requires an adult to run alongside, which keeps the younger wave moving as a group rather than a solo event.
