Embrace the spirit of love and adventure at the 10th Annual Run Love Run, returning to the breathtaking coastal town of Newport, Oregon, on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2026. This festive event, offering 30K, 15K, and 8K distances, is a unique celebration of running, community, and the stunning Pacific Northwest.

The courses, designed to challenge and inspire, begin and end beneath the iconic Yaquina Bay Bridge, near the Rogue Brewery.

The 8K also offers a picturesque journey through South Beach State Park. Aid stations are strategically placed to keep participants fueled and hydrated with water, Tailwind, and various snacks, including fruits and PBJ sandwiches for longer distances.

What truly sets Run Love Run apart is its heartwarming, Valentine-themed atmosphere. All finishers receive a custom, hand-blown glass medal and a red rose as they cross the finish line. The post-race celebration continues with a Valentine's-themed chocolate fountain and sweet treats. Runners are encouraged to don their "Valentine's best" in costumes, enhancing the celebratory mood. The race also offers unique team divisions, including Sweetheart, BFF, and Family categories, allowing you to share the accomplishment with loved ones.
