Possible travel impacts on these NJ roads for Cupid’s Chase

Love is in the air throughout New Jersey, and so is fighting for a cause. And with Valentine's Day coming up quickly, what better time to host a 5K?

Cupid's Chase 5K is back in New Jersey, with this year's events scheduled for Saturday, February 10, 2024. And it's not just one race, but rather a series of races all occurring at approximately the same time, with some slight variations.

Although travel disruptions may occur as a result, they should be minimal being the races are occurring on a Saturday. Still, for people traveling in the impacted areas, they may be affected by the races.

Before we take a look at where all the races are taking place, including maps of the affected roads, let's first dive into what Cupid's Chase 5k is all about.

The Cause

The Cupid's Chase 5K brings awareness and raises money to support those with disabilities. You can read more about this wonderful cause, including how you can get involved by clicking/tapping here.

Races are happening all throughout the country on February 10, 2024, including here in New Jersey. For us, there will be a total of eight events all occurring around the same time of day.

If possible, please consider getting involved. And please remember that you do not have to run in order to participate in one of these statewide 5k's.

According to runsignup.com, "Community Options, Inc. invites runners, walkers, rollers (baby strollers and wheelchairs), and sponsors to raise funds that make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities at our annual Cupid’s Chase 5K."
