The Dothan Runners don't have an annual February race in Dothan, Alabama's Westgate Park, but more often than not they do host a 5K there in February. In 2011 it was the Mardi Gras 5K Trail Race. On 22 February 2014 the Dothan Runners welcomed athletes to Westgate for the Winter Olympics 5K Trail Race. On 14 February 2015 they brought the 'Stache Dash 5K Trail Race to the park. And on Saturday morning, 16 February 2019, the Dothan Runners staged the Cupid Chase 5K Trail Race at Westgate Park. Master runner John Eiland won the 3.1-mile cross-country run, covering the course in 20:38. Rory Claussen, a seventh-grader who races for Panama City, Florida's Shaldera Track Club, took the women's title, placing second overall in 21:16."Rory killed it at the Westgate Trail Saturday," said master runner Mark McCarra. "I thought she was going to win for a while, she was still in range of the leader when we went into the woods."
Behind Eiland and Claussen's duel for the top spot, eleven-year-old Eli Butler and master runner Jimmy Russell fought for third. The youngster edged Russel for that spot, 23:09 to 23:15. Master runner Mark McCarra was the fourth male finisher, fifth overall in 23:42.
Jessica Jetton was runner-up on the women's side, placing thirteenth overall in 27:34. Chris Fox was the first woman master and third female finisher, sixteenth overall in 29:04.
41 athletes finished the Dothan Runners' 2019 Cupid Chase 5K.
