Cupid's Chase 5K Las Cruces 2027

The Cupid's Chase 5K Las Cruces begins and ends at Old Mesilla Plaza on Calle De Santiago in Las Cruces, New Mexico. This certified, chip-timed 5K takes place around Valentine's Day, with check-in in the morning and a 9:00 AM start. The event welcomes runners, walkers, wheelchair users, stroller participants, sponsors, and fundraisers, not exclusively competitive runners. Community Options, Inc. organizes this race as part of its Cupid's Chase series to support individuals with disabilities. Leashed pets are permitted. Finishers receive a Cupid's Chase medal, participants receive a drawstring bag while supplies last, and early registrants can get the event shirt. Results are posted immediately after the finish, with trophies awarded to the top three overall male and female finishers, and age-group medals given in divisions from children to runners over 70. The race proceeds regardless of weather, a consideration for February mornings in southern New Mexico.
