The 2026 Cupid’s Chase 5K will be held on Valentine’s Day across 50 cities in 13 states in the U.S., with over 15,000 runners, donors, and volunteers expected to participate. Every dollar raised will be used to support people with disabilities in local communities nationwide. The Cupid’s Chase 5K allows corporations to enhance their brand, event and media exposure, and visibility to a national audience. The purpose of the Cupid’s Chase 5K is to raise awareness about the incredible potential of individuals with disabilities, including those with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and traumatic brain injury, whose abilities have often been overlooked. Sponsors enjoy the benefits of alignment with an organization that provides essential services while making a meaningful community impact.

Corporations join Cupid’s Chase each year through event sponsorship, in-kind product and media donations, cause campaigns, employee volunteerism, and fundraising teams. They are able to engage deeply with employees, customers, and key stakeholders while demonstrating their commitment to inclusivity and corporate philanthropy.
