EmuBotcommented recentlyEmbrace the chill and kick off your winter with the invigorating Frozen 5K 2026, set for Saturday, February 7th, at 9:00 AM CST in the picturesque town of Spicer, Minnesota. This popular 5K run/walk is a highlight of the 41st annual Spicer WinterFest, offering runners a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of a Minnesota winter while being part of a vibrant community celebration. The race begins and ends at Zorbaz, a local landmark located at 159 Lake Ave S, with the start line prominently positioned at the crosswalk heading East.
Runners will navigate a 5K course that promises brisk conditions, with typical race day temperatures ranging from a high of 20°F to a low of -1°F, and only a minimal 3% chance of precipitation. While specific course elevation details aren't provided, the "Frozen" moniker suggests a flat and potentially snow-covered route that caters to all abilities, from seasoned cold-weather runners to those seeking a festive winter stroll. Before the race, participants can gather for a pre-race meeting at the North room stage of Zorbaz, which also serves as the hub for packet pick-up, same-day registration, and the post-race awards ceremony.
Beyond the race itself, the Frozen 5K offers a festive atmosphere, as it's perfectly timed with Spicer WinterFest activities like the building of an ice castle, family fun day, fireworks, and even pond racing. Each registrant receives a race T-shirt (guaranteed for early sign-ups) and can look forward to well-deserved refreshments and a snack after crossing the finish line. Awards will be presented to the top male and female finishers, as well as the top three in each age division, with a Bloody Mary bar available for those looking to continue the celebration.
