Love is in the air Valentine’s Day weekend…the love of running, that is! Share this 2-person challenge with your running BFF – a friend, neighbor, co-worker, family member, significant other – anyone you chose! Each of you take on the same distance to complete over the weekend, splitting a 10K, half marathon or marathon. Then, celebrate with your piece of the connected heart-shaped finisher medal. Duos looking for a multi-distance challenge can Love It All! and take on all three distances over the weekend.
