33rd Annual Valentine's 2 Mile Labor of Love Run
  February 10, 2013 Noon
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 2013! 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.

  • TIME: 12 Noon.
  • PLACE: Northern Kentucky University, Highland Heights, KY.
