Important notification
Frostbite 5k Postponed
Not the call we wanted to make but for the safety of everyone we are going to have to postpone the Frostbite 5k. Because Public Works will not be clearing the roads in Cherokee Park there is no way to have race safely, either the 11th or the 18th. The ten day forecast shows overcast days, temps that won’t be much over freezing and more snow. We will be running the Frostbite 5k concurrently with the Snowman Shuffle 4 Miler on February 8th.
When you go to packet pickup for the Snowman Shuffle on February 7th at Ken Combs Running Store (4137 Shelbyville Rd.) you will also have your packet for the Frostbite 5k.
BUT, KCRS has generously offered to host a "soft" packet pickup starting this Wednesday, January 8th through Sunday, January 12th if you want to go ahead and pickup your Frostbite 5k socks. Just a heads up, socks are due to be delivered on Wednesday so if you plan on heading over on Wednesday make sure you call first to make sure they have arrived.
KCRS is also offering $10 off any regular price pair of shoes when you pick up your socks. They are perfect for running in the cold and snow!
You will wear the same bib for both races so no need to worry about having to wear two bibs. We will have two sets of results, one for Frostbite 5k and one for Snowman Shuffle and also be able to announce the final Polar Bear Grand Prix standings.
We’ll also be rolling back the price increase that went into effect on January 1st and match price increases to match the Snowman Shuffle. If you registered between January 2nd and this morning, you will be receiving a $5.00 refund to your original payment method.
We feel grateful that in the 22 years of the Frostbite 5k, this is only the third time we’ve had to make accommodations for weather and hopefully the last.
Thank you for your understanding, everyone’s safety is most important and we did not make this decision lightly.
