The Coronado Valentine’s Day Run returns on Sunday, February 16, offering a perfect mix of love, fitness, and fun. Featuring a 10K, 5K, and 1-Mile Fun Run, this event invites couples, families, and individuals to celebrate Valentine’s Day with an unforgettable experience on scenic Coronado Island.
A key highlight of the event is the wedding vow renewal ceremony, led by beloved Poway pastor Bobby Johnston. Scheduled for 7:15 a.m. before the race, the ceremony offers couples a heartfelt opportunity to reaffirm their love and commitment. Known for his joyous and emotional ceremonies, Pastor Johnston’s leadership last year brought smiles, laughter, and touching moments to couples who renewed their vows.
Adding even more fun to the day is the costume contest for individuals, couples, and groups. Participants are encouraged to get creative with their Valentine’s Day-themed attire for a chance to win prizes and showcase their festive spirit.
To embrace the Valentine’s spirit, all participants can select a relationship status bib to wear, featuring playful messages like ‘Available,’ ‘Taken,’ and ‘It’s Complicated.’ This matchmaking element brings a lighthearted touch, and in previous years, it’s even sparked real-life love stories among runners.
Participants will receive a long-sleeve tiki-themed sun protection tech shirt and a large, heart-shaped medal featuring Michelangelo’s David reimagined as Cupid, making the day both memorable and rewarding.
The event supports two impactful organizations: the Islander Sports Foundation, which encourages youth participation in sports, and the Life Sports Foundation, dedicated to empowering young athletes and promoting healthy lifestyles.
The day kicks off with the 1-Mile Fun Run, perfect for families, followed by the 10K and 5K races. A lively post-race celebration with music and community connections ensures a festive atmosphere for all.

Two performances of “A Very Special Christmas Tree” will take place on Nov. 5 — a 12:30 pm show for elementary students and a 7 pm show for the community. The narrator is Coronado High School Principal Karin Mellina.
This show is written expressly for children and is 45-50 minutes in length. Performers are students in a dance class through the CHS physical education department, and most have not danced prior to this class; what progress they’ve made in their dancing and commitment to provide a community service and mentorship for younger students.
Because of some wonderful donors, this performance is FREE and is guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit.
A Very Special Christmas Tree
Deep in the forest where the fairies dwell, a little pine tree grows among her lush and lofty neighbors. Her branches droop, her needles are sparse, and every other tree towers above her. Her greatest wish is to grow taller and stronger, so she will be chosen to stand in a special place for the Christmas season.
After every other tree finds a glorious home for the holiday, the little tree is disappointed to find where she has been taken.
But with the help of a kind man and a wise angel, the little tree discovers the true spirit of Christmas and that her greatest wish has come true.
