Cupid's Chase 5K Seaside Heights starts at 10:00 AM on February 13, 2027, giving travelers a reasonable window to arrive in Seaside Heights, New Jersey without an early departure. Despite the race's name, the actual event distance is 1 mile, not the 5K the title suggests. The race takes place on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk, a flat, accessible venue suitable for runners of all levels. Entry fees range from $40 to $10,000, accommodating various budget preferences. If you're heading to the Jersey Shore for this February running event, plan your hotel stay accordingly and allow time for boardwalk navigation on race morning.
