Cupid Shuffle 5k Run/Walk 2027

The Cupid Shuffle 5K Run/Walk is a chip-timed 3.1-mile race held at Paradise Park in Jacksonville, Arkansas, organized by Jacksonville Parks and Recreation. This yearly community event welcomes both runners and walkers, beginning at 8 a.m. with race-day registration available from 7 a.m. in the Five Star parking lot opposite the park. The certified course guides participants along the park’s nature trail, deviating from a standard street circuit. All finishers will receive a t-shirt and medal. Awards will be presented to the top male and female finishers in each age category, ranging from 14 and under up to 50+. Registration fees are reduced for adults prior to race day, and children aged 12 and under have a lower entry cost. Local entities supporting the event include the Jacksonville Advertising & Promotions Commission and the Jacksonville Police Department.
