Sponsors Wanted For 2013 Valentine's 2 Mile Labor of Love
 
The Valentine's 2 Mile Labor of Love is one of the most fun and unusual races you'll find in Cincinnati. Over the last couple of years, 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), Blind Date(you randomly get a partner) and the Costume division (need to run the race in costume) plus a few other new ones. 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. Last year's race had about 300 runners and this year we are looking at about 400 runners.

The 2013 race will be held on Sunday February 10, 2013 and the club is looking for a few more sponsors. If you are interested in getting involved with one of Cincinnati's most unusual running events as a sponsor or want more information about other club events, contact us at cincinnatirunning@gmail.com.
