Cold Winter's Day
Cold Winter's Day is a community running event held on December 26, 2026 in Columbia, South Carolina (corner of 4801 Forest Drive and Trenholm Road, 29206). The event includes two distances:
- 5k Run or Walk
- Snowflake Youth Fun Run
Course information notes the 5k is described as flat and fast and the youth run as downhill. Course turns are marked with flour. Water stops are provided, and the course is monitored by police and volunteers. Water and Gatorade are listed as post-run refreshments.
Packet pickup takes place on December 22, December 23, and December 24 at Strictly Running, 2515 Devine Street, Columbia SC 29205. Race day packet pickup is available. Race tee shirts are long sleeve and are included with many entry tiers, though shirts are not guaranteed for registrations after December 15, 2026. All finishers in both events receive a finisher medal.
Awards for the 5k include top three overall male and female finishers and single-place awards for master categories (age 40 and over) and additional age-based categories.
