Lace up for a true winter running challenge at the SLTC Frostbite Series, featuring a Half Marathon (13.1M) on January 24, 2026, in the heart of St. Louis, MO. This event is a beloved classic, known as the region's premier winter race series, drawing hundreds of runners to the scenic paths of Forest Park year after year. Participants can expect a fast and flat road course, weaving through iconic park attractions such as the St. Louis Zoo, History Museum, Art Center, and the Muny Opera. The Half Marathon will take runners on a double-loop journey through this picturesque urban oasis.

As part of the enduring St. Louis Track Club Frostbite Series, this race promises a vibrant atmosphere to embrace the chill of winter. Typical race day conditions in late January see highs around 41F and lows near 23F, with a low 8% chance of precipitation, creating crisp running weather. Aid and safety stations along the course will offer water and sports drinks, though runners are encouraged to bring their own hydration devices for convenience.

The race starts at 8:00 a.m. near the Forest Park Visitors Center, which also serves as the hub for race morning packet pickup starting at 7:00 a.m., with portable restrooms available. Finishing runners will find post-race refreshments, including water, sports drinks, and pre-packaged products. Beyond the race, the SLTC Frostbite Series also includes a charitable shoe drive, where runners can donate used athletic shoes to support the St. Louis Track Club's mission as a non-profit organization.
