Valentine's Day 5k
Long Beach, CA
Sponsored by a Long Beach marathon team, this is the first year for the Long Beach I Heart 2 Run 5k. Come join us and run off those chocolates or fabulous dinner you'll be eating later. Don't worry if you don't have a sweetie. Stop by our I heart runners table and pick up some "You ran into my heart" cards. Read on to find out more about our fun way to find a new someone special and get some exercise at the same time.
Go to your romantic dinner feeling fit and fabulous or eat that box of Valentine's Day chocolates without remorse.
Come join us on Valentine's day, Sunday February 14th 2010 at 8:00 AM at the Belmont pool (2 blocks east of the Belmont Pier) for a fun Valentines Day 5k.
Randomly chosen participants will receive a a free box of chocolates as they cross the finish line!
Event course will follow the beach path. Turnaround will be marked and staffed by on-course volunteers.
Prizes

Timing
We will have a race clock only for this event, no timing company. Since all proceeds of this run benefit charity, having a timing clock only will ensure the Leukemia & Lymphoma society receives even more much needed funds.

T-shirts will be provided to all pre-registered event participants. Event t-shirts are 100% cotton and will be available in sizes S, M, L, & XL. Please be sure to select your shirt size when you register.
You Ran into My Heart Cards
This Valentines Day if you are single and ready to run/walk take the opportunity to stop by our "I heart to run" table and pick up a "you ran into my heart card and a pencil. Fill in your name then tie the card around your wrist. As you run, if you see a special someone with a card around thier wrist, feel free to run up and put your name and phone number on thier card. Kind of like the modern day version of dance cards, we're sure your card will be full of prospective suitors and (what's the girl form of suitor?) at the very least, you'll know you have one thing in common...your love of running!
