Frozen Pilgrim (15th Annual)
Frozen Pilgrim is a January road race held in Marshfield, Massachusetts, with Marshfield High School listed as the event location on January 25, 2026. Organizers adjusted the event schedule for cold-weather safety and changed the planned distances.
Available distances:
- 1 mile
- 3 mile (the 5 mile was changed to a 3 mile and affected entrants were moved to that distance)
Organizers announced there will be no water stops on the course because cups can freeze in low temperatures; participants are advised to carry their own water. Bathrooms are available for changing into warm clothes after the race; the gym is not available for participant use.
Bib and shirt pickup will be held at two locations: Saturday at Marathon Sports, 9 Court Street, Plymouth, and Sunday at Marshfield High School, 167 Forest Street, Marshfield; the event lists specific pickup windows for each day. Online registration for the 2026 race is closed. A shirt deadline for guaranteed shirts is listed as January 8.
Awards include overall 1st–3rd male and female for the 1 mile and for the 3 mile, plus first place male and female in multiple age groups from 10 and under through 80+. Post-race awards are held in the main foyer at Marshfield High School. There is free parking on site. Walkers are welcome, running strollers should start at the back, and dogs are not allowed on the course. Proceeds support the Kurt Giessler Foundation for Youth Achievement.
