Frostbite 5k Run/Walk

  • Rugby Field in Cherokee Park 745 Cochran Hill Rd. Louisville United States (map)

Because of several staff positive Covid tests we will be shorthanded on Saturday so we will not be having race day registration. You may register online up until midnight on Friday night, January 7th and your bib will be ready race morning or if you want to pay by cash or check you may go to pre-race packet pickup from 11:00 a.m until 6:00 p.m. at Fleet Feet, 117 Breckinridge Ln. (St. Matthews Station) and register there.

Also we have sold out of race shirts and will be ordering more and will be available for pickup at Fleet Feet mid-January or you may have it mailing to you for a $6 mailing fee.

We are also canceling the price increase so the registration fee will remain the same through registration close on Friday night.

Second race of the Polar Bear Grand Prix, the Frostbite 5k is by far the most popular race of the series and the best value on the running calendar with a long sleeve, ¼ zip technical race shirt with your entry fee.

Starts at the Rugby Field in Cherokee Park and loops through the Scenic Loop. Click here for a course map.

We've added a charity partner to all three races of the Polar Bear Grand Prix, The Olmsted Parks Conservancy!

Louisville has the greatest parks system in the country and we all enjoy running and walking in them.  Help maintain their beauty by donating and/or fundraising!  It's easy and fun and if you raise $250 or more, your registration is FREE!  More details on how to fundraise or the option to make a donation when you register. 

Starting this month, we will hold a drawing for everyone registered for one or all three races in the Polar Bear Grand Prix and made a donation or signed up to raise funds for the t-shirt of your choice for you to rep your favorite Olmsted park.
