On Saturday morning, February 11, 2017, people across 32 cities in nine states will participate in the ninth annual Cupid’s Chase 5K run, presented by Community Options, Inc.

Community Options is a national nonprofit organization that provides housing and employment support to people with disabilities. Every year, Community Options holds its annual 5K to raise money to help support individuals with disabilities in their local communities. The last three years, Community Options raised more than $700,000 with nearly 5,000 runners in attendance across the country last year.

Two new locations have been added for this year’s 5K, including Lubbock, Texas, and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Participants will receive an “Available” or “Unavailable” shirt to wear for the race in hopes of sparking a love connection, as well as a finisher medal, a goody bag, and refreshments.
