Love Me Run: A Matchmaking 5K
This event has expired. Please visit the Events Calendar for current listings.
Some people like to debate the plausibility of love at first sight, but no one ever talks about love at first step. For the first time, Love Me Run is racing into the Los Angeles area on November 12 with a 5K fun run in Santa Monica. Love Me Run aims to get participants out of the “swipe left” mentality where technology has taken over our love lives. Participants will complete the 1km course, five different times with a new match, for a total of five unique dates.
The Love Me Run will kick off at 9am on Saturday, November 12 at Clover Park with registration and packet pickup. Participants can mix and mingle at the Juice Bar beginning at 10 am. The run will begin at 11 am. Entry fee is $40 per person. “Wing person” and group discounts available. The race can accommodate 500 participants, so register today!
HOW IT WORKS: The 1km course is broken into zones throughout the race; Running Zone’s allow participants to run side by side, setting a comfortable pace. Speed Walking & Talking Zones are designed for you to speed walk and are intended to encourage conversation and allow matches to get to know one another. There will be conversation prompters throughout this zone to assist you with communication. The course is completed five different times, each time with a new match. Following the race, participants can cool down and re-connect with their favorite matches or meet new connections.
