Prepare for a refreshing start to your year at the Freakin' Freezin' Race, set to challenge runners and walkers alike on Sunday, January 18, 2026, in Evansville, Indiana. Hosted at the scenic Deaconess Sports Park, this event offers two engaging distances: an approximate 5K (about 3.1 miles) and a more challenging 10K (approximately 6.2 miles). Embrace the crisp winter air, as typical race day conditions in mid-January see highs around 42°F and lows near 25°F, with only a 13% chance of precipitation, ensuring a true "Freakin' Freezin'" experience.

The course itself is a unique lap circuit, guiding participants along a picturesque new trail adjacent to Green River Road. Each lap measures approximately 3.15-3.2 miles, meaning 10K participants will complete two full loops of this scenic route. The race kicks off at 1:00 PM Central Time, with race day check-in and late registration available at Deaconess Sports Park from 12:15 PM to 12:45 PM.

The Freakin' Freezin' Race is more than just a run; it's an opportunity to test your grit and enjoy the invigorating atmosphere of winter running. The event will proceed rain or shine, ready for any weather, though a contingency date of January 25 is set in case of ice or heavy snow. Top overall male and female finishers in each distance will receive custom awards, and age group winners will be recognized with placement pins, celebrating achievements across various categories.
