On Feb. 13, 2011 the annual Valentines 5K Run was held at Valparaiso High School. The race took off at 10am with the sound of the horn. Organizing the race were Valparaiso High School XC and Track Coaches, Mike Prow and Arron Crague, as well as many volunteers. The weather was perfect for this time of year for running, it was sunny and temperatures were right around 40 degrees. Approximate number of people that came out to run were estimated to be around 400 with 160 signing up race day. Unique categories for this race include: couples, father-daughter and mother-son as well as age divisions. Winners received a trophy in their divisions. Congratulations to all that came out to run!
Coach Mike Prow "Thank you to all the volunteers for all your hard work and to Valpolife for coming out today"
