Valentine's Two Mile Labor of Love - February 13
Please join the Runners' Club this winter in one of the most fun and unusual races you'll find in Cincinnati. In 2009 we made it more unusual by adding a couple of new specialty categories like Ball & Chain(a male and female runner are tethered together so they run together) and Blind Date(you randomly get a partner). In 2010, we brought back the Costume division (need to run the race in costume) . See what we do in 2011! The race is put on by the Runners' Club of Greater Cincinnati and proceeds go to support running in the Greater Cincinnati area and the NKU Cross Country and Track team.

Valentine 2 Mile Labor of Love Looking for Sponsors
The Valentine 2 Mile Labor of Love is one of the most fun and unusual races you'll find in Cincinnati. Over the last couple of years, we made it more unusual by adding a couple of new specialty categories like Ball & Chain(a male and female runner are tethered together so they run together) and Blind Date(you randomly get a partner) and the Costume division (need to run the race in costume) plus a few other new ones. The race is put on by the Runners' Club of Greater Cincinnati and proceeds go to support running in the Greater Cincinnati area and the NKU Cross Country and Track team. Last year's race had about 310 runners and this year we are looking at about 400 runners.
The 2011 race is looking to add a few more sponsors. If you are interested in getting involved with one of Cincinnati's most unusual running events as a sponsor or want more information about other club events, contact us at cincinnatirunning@gmail.com.
