Cupid's Chase 5K Chattanooga 2027

The Cupid's Chase 5K Chattanooga begins and ends at Marsh Pavilion on Amnicola Highway. Check-in is in the morning, and the race commences at 10:00 AM. This is a certified, professionally timed 5K held annually in February. It is part of the national Cupid's Chase series, which commemorates the founding of Community Options and generates funds for housing and employment programs supporting people with disabilities. The Chattanooga event accommodates a diverse field: runners, walkers, wheelchair participants, families with strollers, sponsors, and leashed pets are welcome. Medals and drawstring bags may be given to finishers while supplies last. The top three male and female finishers receive trophies, and medals are awarded to age groups from 12-and-under to 70-plus. A shirt tradition includes a Valentine's Day joke, with white shirts for singles and red for those in relationships. The overall series attracts over 17,000 participants nationwide.
