Event overview

The 2026 Frigid 10K and Frosty 5K takes place on March 14, 2026 at the Discovery Centre, 57 Discovery Dr, Hamilton, ON, Canada. The event offers both in-person and virtual participation. If the in-person event cannot proceed as planned, it will be switched to a virtual race; in that case no refunds will be issued but registrants will still receive their race kit and may complete and submit results virtually.

Distances:

  • 10 km, double loop
  • 5 km, out-and-back

The event includes a finisher medal and race kit items. Early registrants receive a long sleeve technical shirt with men's and women's sizing and two colour options (yellow reflective and navy). Limited event merchandise is available separately.

Virtual entries can be completed between February 26, 2026 and March 31, 2026 and may be tracked with the ASICS Runkeeper app or submitted via the event results page.
