LGRAW's Bold in the Cold 5K & 15K
Lake Grapevine Runners and Walkers (LGRAW) presents the 26th running of Bold in the Cold, scheduled for January 24, 2026. The event offers the following distances:
- 5K
- 15K
Course, timing and awards
Both races are out-and-back courses on the C. Shane Wilbanks Trail along Lake Grapevine, with start and finish near the LGRAW clubhouse. Surfaces are a mix of asphalt and cement paving. Chip timing uses the IPICO shoe-tag system; timing chips are distributed on race day and must be returned at the finish. Overall and age-group top finishers receive medals in multiple veteran categories and top-three age-group places.
Facilities, aid and policies
Aid stations provide water and Gatorade; the 15K passes aid stations four times and the 5K twice. Porta-potties are located at the start/finish, at the boathouse turn, and near the 5K turnaround / 15K 1.5-mile point. There is no gear check. Primary parking is at Oak Grove Soccer Complex; limited parking is available at the Oak Grove Softball Complex north lot. Both races are produced by volunteers and require many volunteers to operate. Registration is paid (listed as $40 for the 5K and $55 for the 15K on the event page), all registrations are non-refundable, and race insurance is available. Transfers between events and to another person are permitted through RunSignUp by race morning. A 2.5-hour course time limit applies to receive an official race result; park trails remain open to the public. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
