The Cupid's Chase Binghamton 5k Returns To Otsiningo Park

Valentine's Day is less than a week away. Are you excited as I am? Well, I do have my thoughts about the day, but I'll keep my opinions to myself. I will tell you that this Saturday and Sunday, it's our annual 'Love Stinks' weekend on 99.1 The Whale.

Each day, we'll kick off the top of each hour with the best brokenhearted, anti-love Classic Rock songs ever made for those of you who don't have that special someone, or for whatever reason, have an issue with love or Valentine's Day. You're welcome.

And since we're on the subject of Valentine's Day, the annual Cupid's Chase Binghamton 5k is back this Saturday (February 12th) at Otsiningo Park, Binghamton. This 5k race began in 1989 and is still going strong.
