Cupid's Chase 5K Syracuse 2027

Cupid's Chase 5K Syracuse is a February 5K held at Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool, near Syracuse. The race begins in the morning following check-in. It follows a certified 5K course and provides professional timing, with results available immediately after completion. This event is part of the national Cupid's Chase series, commemorating the founding of Community Options each February. The series attracts over 17,000 participants nationwide. The Syracuse race welcomes a diverse group, including runners, walkers, wheelchair users, families with strollers, sponsors, and leashed pets. Participants who finish receive a Cupid's Chase medal and a drawstring bag, as long as supplies permit. The race shirt carries a Valentine's theme: white indicates single, while red signifies being in a relationship. Awards are extensive for a community 5K, featuring trophies for the top three male and female finishers overall, and medals for various age groups ranging from 12-and-under to 70-and-over. Proceeds from the race benefit Community Options, a nonprofit established in 1989 that offers housing and employment services for individuals with disabilities.
