Valentine’s Day-themed 5K benefits local Montessori education
Ready for a brisk winter race? Walkers, waddlers, runners, ramblers, sprinters, hurdlers, joggers, strollers and hot-steppers will gather for the 2019 Love ‘em or Leave ‘em 5K on Saturday, February 9th, beginning and ending at The Filling Station on Rouse Ave. Day of registration and packet pickup opens at 9am, with the race set to begin at 10:30am. Proceeds from this annual event benefit Bozeman Summit School.
The heart of Valentine’s Day is spending time with loved ones. Relationships can be complicated, but this race takes the awkwardness out of the romantic annual holiday! The Love ‘em or Leave ‘em 5K offers something for everyone. Skip the red roses, cards, and candy – all racers will receive a long sleeve, tech t-shirt with race logo, chili, sandwiches, cider, and a beer or hot chocolate ticket. Following the race, join in for a social gathering, award ceremony including ski lift tickets and Valentine’s Day prizes, live music from the SlomoJoe Trio, food and refreshments. All of this in support of Bozeman Summit School, a non-profit Montessori school. And this year, they’re rallying the entire Montessori education community by donating back a portion of each runner’s entry fee who selects a particular school.
Register as a couple for Valentine’s Day, or as a self-loving single trekker! This race is $30 for individuals and $50 for couples. Registration and further information can be found at www.loveorleave.weebly.com.
