“This event is about so much more than miles,” says Carrie Panek of KOZ Events. “It’s about joy, connection, movement, and celebrating love in all its forms. The vow renewals are emotional, fun, and truly one of the most special moments we create all year.”

Celebrate Valentine’s Day Weekend with love, laughter, and movement — and start the race by falling in love all over again. 💘🏃♀️🏃♂️
❤️ Relationships & Love
The heart of our race is Peace, Love, and Joy — values that lift us up on race day and carry into everyday life.
What would it look like for you to have more peace, love, and joy this year? For some, it starts with nurturing a stronger, more meaningful relationship with a spouse or partner. For others, it’s about being present for children, reconnecting with friends, or opening your heart to new relationships. Sometimes, peace comes from creating balance — emotionally, physically, or even financially.
Many people discover greater happiness when they let go of stress, practice gratitude, and choose forgiveness. Others find joy simply by moving their bodies, sharing experiences, and spending quality time with the people they love.
This race is an invitation to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. Whether you’re running side by side with your partner, cheering on your kids, or showing up just for yourself, you’re taking a step toward a more abundant, joyful life.
Below you’ll find ideas and resources to help you start the year grounded in Peace, Love, and Joy — on race day and beyond. 💖
