People across 33 cities in 10 states will participate in the ninth annual Cupid’s Chase 5K run, presented by Community Options, Inc., on Saturday, Feb. 11.   

This year's 5K and 10K in Chattanooga will take place at Tennessee River Park.  Day-of registration is at 8 a.m. and the race begins at 10 a.m.  Registration fees are as follows: $25 on or before Dec. 31, $30 on or before Feb. 10, and $40 Feb. 11 until event day.

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

Three new locations have been added for this year’s 5K, including Lubbock, Tx., Wheaton, Md. and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 

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.
