Lace up your running shoes for a heartwarming start to your Valentine's Day weekend at the Easterseals' Cupid Shuffle 5K, set to take place on Saturday, February 14, 2026, in scenic Auburn, Georgia. This popular 5K, held at Little Mulberry Park, offers runners and walkers a chance to enjoy a well-organized event on a USATF Certified Course, which also serves as an AJC Peachtree Road Race Qualifier. The race kicks off at 10:00 AM EST, inviting participants of all levels to join in the festive atmosphere.

The Cupid Shuffle is more than just a race; it's a vital fundraiser for Easterseals North Georgia, a dedicated nonprofit supporting approximately 5,000 children and families facing disabilities or economic challenges throughout the region. Your participation directly contributes to providing essential care, resources, and opportunities for these families. Runners can expect typical race day conditions to be crisp, with highs around 55°F and lows near 36°F, and a 19% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. All participants receive chipped timing, a super soft race shirt, and a custom finisher medal to commemorate their achievement (guaranteed with early registration).

Beyond the finish line, the celebration continues. Participants aged 21 and over can enjoy complimentary mimosas at Pieces and Peaches Boutique, which also offers a special gift with purchase for those who stop by after the race. Whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a "shuffle" with loved ones, or simply supporting an incredible cause, the Easterseals' Cupid Shuffle promises a rewarding and memorable experience in the charming community of Auburn.
