R3 Love to Run

Love to Run Virtual Race
5K & 10K Options

Love to Run is a celebration of why we move — not just for miles or medals, but for self-care, connection, community, and a genuine love for running.

Designed to be run throughout the month of February, this virtual race invites you to show yourself some love in a way that feels right for you. Whether you’re building consistency, returning after a break, or simply running because it brings you joy, Love to Run meets you where you are.

Choose your distance:

5K — approachable, steady, and intentional
10K — a meaningful challenge for those ready to go a little further

Run anywhere, anytime — outdoors, on a treadmill, on familiar routes or new paths. Walk, jog, run, or mix it up — all movement counts and all paces are welcome.

If you run, you’re a runner.
