Frozen Goat Loop (5M-20M) - Feb 7, 2026 | Wexford, PA

Embark on a unique winter trail adventure at the Frozen Goat Loop, an engaging event designed by the North Park Trail Runners for Saturday, February 7, 2026, in Wexford, PA. Unlike a traditional race, this gathering focuses on community and exploration, offering a flexible format to tackle the scenic dirt trails of North Park. Participants can choose to complete 5, 10, 15, or 20 miles by navigating one to four distinct ~5-mile loops. For those seeking a longer challenge, a continuous, self-supported 20-25 mile route is also available, starting at 7:15 AM.

The course itself features varied dirt trails, punctuated by rocks and roots, promising an authentic trail running experience. Each of the approximately 5-mile loops is clearly flagged, color-coded, and mapped, with routes accessible via RunGo. Typical race day conditions in early February present highs around 37°F and lows around 21°F, with a 14% chance of precipitation, so runners should come prepared for cold temperatures, potential rain or snow, and possibly muddy or icy patches.

What truly sets the Frozen Goat Loop apart is its runner-centric approach and vibrant atmosphere. The North Park Ice Rink's second level serves as both the starting point and an indoor aid station for those tackling the looped distances, providing a warm refuge with pastries, food, and coffee between efforts. Runners are encouraged to leave personal belongings and coolers here, with alcoholic beverages even permitted post-run. The day culminates in a beloved G.O.A.T Chili/Soup Cook-Off, where participants can enjoy hearty warm meals and vote for their favorite, transforming the event into a festive community celebration. Completing loops earns you a special "Goat Certificate," with titles ranging from "Baby Goat" to the ultimate "Frozen Goat" for finishing all four loops or the continuous route.
