Coronado Valentine's Day 10K (Photos / Results)

Hearing the buzzer at 5am isn't always a good thing, but when you know you're going out to achieve something great,  you spring out of bed with that winning attitude.

Your eCoronado.com interns didn't run with the crowd, but were also up dark and early this morning setting up eCoronado.com's first ever booth at the Valentine's Day 10K at Tidelands Park!

Over 2,000 runners showed up from places like Arizona and Northern California to compete in this local event. The atmosphere was out-and-out inspirational as we saw families, friends, and professional groups dressed up in matching shirts, tutus and multi-colored spandex running on this cold, damp early morning .

A variety of booths offered participants an array of healthy, pre-marathon fuel as well as some comforting treats like cupcakes and espresso for the cheering crowd on the sidelines.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello to us, grabbed a 92118 sticker, and gave us feedback on our ever-growing online publication.

Enjoy the photos of this morning's fun-filled pre-Valentine's Day event.  Click here for the race results.
