Event Description

For the Love of Running 5K/10K is a heart-warming new option for the Independence County running community on Feb. 12, Valentine's weekend. The straightforward out-and-back route along Miller Creek Road features a mix of dirt and paved road with a few gentle climbs, just enough bends in the path to prevent horizon numbness, and a bit of woodland, pasture, and country home scenery.

We'll have overall trophies, medals in 10-year age groups, overall walker trophies, and with sufficient interest may have overall couples divisions. $25 entry fee. T-shirt/giveaway guaranteed to all entrants as of Jan. 30.

The race will start at 8 a.m. from the horse arena on Miller Creek Road by the Soccer Complex. The 10K will be an out-and-back to Moorefield Cutoff; the 5K will have a turnaround midway to the cutoff.
