February 11th, 2012 @ 9am
5k, 10k, 15k, and ½ mile kids run

Looking to put the perfect start to your Valentine's Day Weekend? Look no further than the 11th 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!

Race Information

Chains of Love is one of the biggest fundraisers and community outreach events facilitated by the Cal Poly Triathlon Team each year. Unique in style and location, this run is hosted entirely on the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo campus every Valentine's Day Weekend. There are three categories: student, non-student, and couples. Student discounts are available with presentation of a valid student ID, and couples are encouraged to cross the finish line holding hands, thereby illustrating the name of our race: Chains of Love. Additionally, a half-mile fun-run is the perfect way to involve your little athletes-to-be! Each leg of the run is led by our signature bicycle-riding cupids, those studly young men and women who don diapers and wings for your enjoyment!

Chains of Love Cupids

Proceeds from the race help send our club team to the USAT Collegiate National Championships. This year, Nationals will occur in Tuscaloosa, AL in April, 2012.

Awards

Every participant will receive a commemorative T-shirt and race bag stuffed with fun goodies and coupons from local businesses. Age groups will be divided by the following: 10 & under, 11-15, 16-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+

Prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers of each race as well as the top three finishers for each age-group category. Students and couples top finishers will be awarded separately. All children participating in the half-mile fun-run will receive a prize.

The top three finishers in the 5k, 10k, and 15k will each receive a commemorative "top finisher" race mug.
