Lace up your shoes for the Love is Love 5K, a truly heartwarming event set for Sunday, June 21, 2026, in Westville, Indiana. This 5K run/walk, hosted at the picturesque Bluhm County Park, is more than just a race; it's a celebration of diversity, acceptance, and inclusion, with a portion of proceeds benefiting LGBTQ+ Outreach of Porter County. Typical race day conditions in late June can see comfortable highs around 82°F and lows near 61°F, with a slight 17% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather.

The course itself offers a "fun and challenging" experience on a paved bike trail across the street from the main park shelter, featuring "some hills" to keep things interesting. Runners will navigate an out-and-back route, well-marked with flags and arrow signs, turning around at the 1.5-mile mark where a water stop awaits. While there are no restrooms along the course, participants can find packet pick-up, race-day registration, and a welcoming finish area with post-race snacks, water, and Powerade available at the shelter near the parking lot.

Part of the Crazy Legs Race Series, the Love is Love 5K is renowned for its low-key atmosphere and commitment to inclusivity, warmly welcoming all individuals regardless of sexual orientation, biological sex, gender identity, or gender expression. Expect a unique "old school timing" approach, and while there's no formal awards ceremony, medals are presented to overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three in each age group. This event promises a supportive and memorable experience for every participant.
