Frosty Five Run/Walk

02/04/2026

Ran the Frosty 5K course this morning to check conditions. Was pleasantly surprised! :) Here are the photos today. I know we have more snow coming but also a couple of warmer days to melt things down... Today it was very runable. Enjoyable- did not feel treacherous.

It is cold, and on a scale of 1-10 where 1 = super wimp and 10= Elmer with no shirt, I am a 0.

Two layers on the legs, 3 on top with jacket. Be sure to cover your neck and face. Consider hand and foot warmers. Will update after next snow.

Spikes? Let's see what happens when we get more snow.

Would love another opinion so chime in if you run this route this week. It does feel liberating to be outside!

* HEADS UP ON PARKING: On race day, due to security, please enter the parking area on Belmont Street off of Indiana. Other roads will be blocked.
