Iceman Series 2026-27
The Iceman Series runs in Springfield, Illinois from December 12, 2026 through February 6, 2027. The series stages multiple winter race dates with a variety of distances across December, January and a standalone half marathon event in February.
A points contest runs during December and January. Participants receive 15 points for participating and 1 point for each kilometer completed. Age-group scoring is by five-year brackets, with 15 points for first in class, 14 for second, 13 for third, and so on.
The February event is separate from the points contest. The half marathon includes a finisher medal, an Iceman shirt, and awards for top finishers. The 10K and 5K offered that day include a finisher medal, a t-shirt, and awards for the top three male and top three female finishers overall.
Full series registrants receive a quarter-zip shirt at the first event and the Iceman shirt at the half marathon. Full series registration also includes a display for finisher medallions.
Each event begins and ends at a local restaurant or bar and registration includes a $5 coupon for food and drinks after the run. Every race offers both a short-distance and a long-distance option.
Race schedule examples include December 12 with 10K and 5K at The Corner Pub & Grill (3271 W. Iles Ave) and December 26 with 12K and 5K at Home Plate Bar & Grill (2571 S. Koke Mill Rd). January 9 (15K, 10K, 5K), January 23 (18K, 10K, 5K) and February 6 (half marathon, 10K, 5K) list locations to be announced. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
