About the ARTfactory 5K and Fun Run: A Frozen Experience
This is a winter-themed race organized around a local arts nonprofit. The course is decorated with frosty props, and many runners show up in costume, which is encouraged. There is a costume contest on the side, so expect the start line to look more like a holiday parade than a typical road race morning.
