WE ARE BACK IN DOWNTOWN WITH THIS CLASSIC 4 MILER
Sweetheart City Racing is excited to once again hold this year’s event. With a race start and awards in Downtown Loveland it will be right in the center of the action of the Loveland Sweetheart Festival (Re-Imagined) – Love, Locks and Lights. You will love our newly designed 4-mile race course along the River’s Edge Natural Area.
The race will begin promptly at 2:30 p.m. Racers will need to arrive early to assure smooth parking (as it is limited) as well as an on-time start. Join us on February 12th, 2022 for a day full of fun, love, and fitness as we work to raise money for local High School and Middle School Cross Country teams.
Please check out our Race First Stop! It will have frequently asked questions and answers.

Race First Stop:
Is parking available? Yes. There is a free parking garage, downtown parking spots, and lots near the start/finish line. Start/finish line is near Cleveland and 4th.
Am I guaranteed a shirt? To be guaranteed a shirt you must register by Jan 31st. We always order extras but register early to guarantee you get one! We always have other swag available if we run out of shirts.
Is there race day registration? Yes. ALL registration is online. If you want to pay with cash or check please see one of the volunteers to assist you. Price goes up on race day. Please see the pricing on the registration link.
Will you cancel the race if it’s cold, snowing, windy or rainy? No. We will hold the event rain or shine. Lightening will delay the event, but that chance is very, VERY slim.
