Kick off Valentine’s season on a sweet note at the Cupids Chocolate Chase Presented by Euphoria Chocolate Company! Enjoy a festive run or walk with friends, family, or your favorite Valentine—and savor a handcrafted Euphoria chocolate waiting for you at the finish line. You won’t want to miss the two-person team competition, perfect for pairs looking to add a little friendly fun to their run! Event proceeds will benefit Bags of Love, a local nonprofit supporting children in need. Whether you’re racing solo, with a sweetheart, or bringing the whole crew, join us for a fun-filled celebration of movement, community, and delicious local treats.

Celebrate your run with music, food, and drinks at the official Post-Race Social at ColdFire Brewing Barrel House! Whether you come solo, with friends, or as part of a team, it’s the perfect way to unwind and connect.

• Cupid’s Twist: Back bibs are color-coded to show relationship status. It's a lighthearted nod to Valentine’s Day that makes it easy to mingle, laugh, and maybe even make a match, but the social is open to everyone (including spectators)!
• Show your bib for $1 off a beverage of your choice.
• Alcohol: Must be 21+ with valid ID to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages.

Founded in Eugene in 2008, Bags of Love began with a simple goal of replacing the garbage bags children were carrying into foster care with something filled with comfort and dignity. What started as a small act of compassion has grown into a statewide effort to support children experiencing abuse, neglect, poverty, homelessness, or disaster. Bags of Love provides care packages filled with essential and comfort items to children in crisis while partnering with local schools, agencies, and nonprofits. Each bag helps meet immediate physical and emotional needs and reminds every child that their community cares. The organization is 100% community funded and 98% volunteer operated. From just 25 bags distributed in their first year to over 4,000 children served in 2024, Bags of Love now partners with more than 170 agencies across 11 Oregon counties. As requests for support continue to rise, their mission remains clear: to ensure that every child facing hardship receives comfort, dignity, and hope.
