The Frosty 5K and Reindeer Run takes place in Stafford, Virginia, marking its tenth year of operation. The event features a course along the rolling hills of Mine Road and serves as the fifth and final race in the 2026 Stafford Race Series. Participants who complete all five races in the series are eligible to collect specific series merchandise following the event.
The event offers the following distances:

- 1 Mile
The 5K course is open to both runners and walkers. A separate registration category exists specifically for Stafford County Public Schools employees. The 1 Mile Reindeer Run is designated for children aged 12 and under. All finishers in these events receive a long-sleeve race shirt and a custom finisher medal.
Registration is conducted exclusively online, as no paper registration options are provided. Participants may use strollers on the course but are required to start at the back of the pack. Dogs are not permitted at the event. While refunds and transfers are not available, individuals who cannot attend may have a representative pick up their race packet.
