Shake off the winter chill and embrace an invigorating challenge at the Lewisburg Sunset Rotary Frosty 5K, set to take place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in scenic Lewisburg, PA. This popular 5K run or walk invites participants to battle cabin fever with an exciting journey through Lewisburg's historic streets and along the picturesque edges of the Bucknell University campus. As an "All-Weather" event, runners should be prepared for a true winter experience, come rain, snow, sleet, or ice. Typical race day conditions in early February often see highs around 36°F and lows near 17°F, with a 13% chance of precipitation, promising a brisk and memorable race.
The Frosty 5K kicks off with registration and check-in at the historic Campus Theatre on Market Street, which also serves as the starting line for the 9:30 AM shotgun start. Fuel your pre-race excitement with Dunkin' Donut coffee, hot chocolate, and donut holes. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with post-race snacks, including Jersey Mike's mini subs, and for those 21 and over, a beer tasting. Medals are awarded to top finishers in various age categories, with cash prizes for overall and masters winners.
What truly sets the Lewisburg Sunset Rotary Frosty 5K apart is its integration with the festive Heart of Lewisburg Ice Festival. Your race day transforms into a vibrant community celebration, featuring live ice carving demonstrations, children's games, the exhilarating Polar Bear Plunge, and a chocolate lovers festival. This 16th annual event is more than just a race; it's a beloved winter tradition that fosters community camaraderie while supporting local organizations, with half of its net proceeds benefiting good causes.
