Valentine's Day 5K

Lace up for love and fitness at the Valentine's Day 5k, set to take place on Saturday, February 14, 2026, in scenic Morgantown, WV. This engaging 5K event invites runners and walkers alike to a beautifully marked course winding around the Student Recreation Center, starting promptly at 9 AM from 2001 Kittie Blakemore Dr.. Participants can anticipate a festive atmosphere as they navigate the relatively level campus terrain, perfect for a strong start to their Valentine's Day celebrations.

More than just a race, the Valentine's Day 5k proudly supports the WVU Track Club, making every stride a contribution to local collegiate athletics. Early registrants will receive a stylish event t-shirt, and top finishers won't go unrewarded, with prizes awarded to the top two men and women overall, including themed gift baskets for the first-place male and female, and smaller prizes for second and third place. Typical race day conditions in mid-February in Morgantown often see highs around 42°F and lows near 25°F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation, creating a brisk and invigorating running environment.

This 5K is an excellent opportunity to celebrate community, support a worthy cause, and enjoy a heart-pumping start to your holiday. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply want to share a healthy morning with friends and loved ones, the Valentine's Day 5k offers a memorable experience. Same-day registration will be available.
