The annual Love the Run You’re With 5K race is returning to Pentagon City this weekend.
The Valentine’s Day-themed race is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12. It encourages participants to specify whether they’re single or in a relationship when registering — with different race bib colors for each category.
A number of road closures are planned for the race. From ACPD:

Race attendees are encouraged to use Metro, however, if driving please utilize the parking garage at the Pentagon City Mall.
