Results have been posted. Thanks for helping us make this year's Chains of Love the biggest and best Chains of Love run, ever!
Looking to put the perfect finish on your Valentine's Day Weekend? Look no further than the 8th Annual Chains of Love 5k, 10k, 15k, and 1/2 Mile Kid's Fun Run brought to you by the Cal Poly Triathlon Team. Grab a partner and finish holding hands in our couples division, or race alone and set a personal record—the choice is yours! All courses tour the rolling hills of the beautiful Cal Poly campus, and feature our signature race-leading cupids!
This year we are also pleased to announce our partnership with Pocket of Change, a charity that provides supplies and volunteers to an orphanage in Kenya. This partnership is a great way to reach out as a team to those less fortunate. 10 percent of the total proceeds generated by the race will be donated directly to Pocket of Change. We will also be donating all extra race t-shirts as well as several dozen Tri Team sweatshirts. Additionally, all racers are encouraged to bring a gently used item of clothing to donate as well.
Awards
Age-group prizes will be awarded to top finishers, and everyone will receive a commemorative t-shirt as well as a race bag stuffed with fun goodies.
