Cupid's Chase 5K Derry 2027

Cupid's Chase 5K Derry provides runners with relationship-status T-shirts: white for "Available" and red for "Unavailable." This Valentine’s Day-themed 5K begins at 10 a.m. in Westmoreland County, run as part of Community Options Inc.’s national Cupid’s Chase series. The nonprofit uses the race to support adults with intellectual disabilities, with proceeds helping fund home upgrades, job assistance, and related services. The Derry branch runs in Keystone State Park. The local race typically uses Legion-Keener Park in Latrobe when available. It usually draws about 100 participants. Nearby Cupid’s Chase races also occur in Butler and Pittsburgh, part of events across 12 U.S. states. The day includes giveaways, Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and treats, food and water for runners, raffles, and winner rewards. Stephen Hall of Community Options has noted people meeting through Cupid’s Chase races, dating, and in one instance marrying.
