Valentine's Heartbreaker Marathon & Relay
Valentine's Heartbreaker Marathon & Relay takes place on February 14, 2027, at Country Park in Greensboro, NC (3905 Nathanael Greene Dr., 27455). The event offers a solo division and relay options, including two-person, four-person, and five-to-eight-person teams. Solo entrants cover 26.2 miles by running 16 laps of the park loop.
Teams register individually; each team member pays their own entry. Relay teams use a baton-chip and solo runners use a bib-chip for chip timing. Teams must alternate runners and complete individual laps in sequence to be eligible for awards; for example, in a four-person team the same runner completes laps 1, 5, 9, and 13.
Participants receive a hoodie, a finisher's medal, and post-race food. Hoodie availability is guaranteed only for those registered at least three weeks before the race. Registered runners aged 21 and over are eligible to receive a beer from Oden Brewing. Packet pickup is organized so a designated team captain can collect hoodies, batons, bibs, and other race materials.
The event includes a tent village and on-site entertainment. Team categories cover gender, age-combined thresholds (for example YOUNG PUNKS and several GEEZERS categories), and a weight-based category for teams whose combined weight exceeds 800 pounds.
