Event details
The Frosty Five Run is scheduled for Saturday, February 14, 2026, in Elkhart, Indiana. Events offered are:
- 5K
- 5 Mile
The event is based at Studebaker Park Pavilion, 1020 McDonald Street, Elkhart, IN 46514. Packet pickup is available the day before and on race day. Race-day parking is provided in three park lots; entrants are asked to enter the lots from Belmont Street and not to park on McDonald Street. A large lot is also available at Mary Beck Elementary School.
Course and logistics
Both courses are almost entirely on paved, tree-lined trails along the River Greenway and the Elkhart River. The course is described as largely flat with three small hills. The 5K follows a lollipop/T-shaped route with two-way traffic on the return. The 5 Mile includes an additional front section (about 1.9 miles) and then follows the same route as the 5K. Both distances start at the same location but at different times. Custom bib colors identify each distance: green for the 5K and yellow for the 5 Mile. Dogs may run if a waiver is completed and park rules are followed.
Timing, awards and amenities
Timing uses Watts My Time RFID tags attached to shoes. Every finisher receives a memento. Top three overall men and women in each distance receive custom awards; top three in 15 standard age groups receive medals. Long-sleeve shirts are optional for an additional fee. Refreshments and a fire will be available in the pavilion after the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
