About the DRC's Frigid 5K & 10K

The course runs along White Rock Lake, and both distance options share the same lakeside setting. The terrain is what you would expect from a lake loop, open and runnable, with water views for most of the route. Strollers are permitted, though they are asked to start at the back and stay to the right.

Packet pickup is race morning at Winfrey Point House, wrapping up shortly before the start. Parking is available at several spots around the lake. Awards go to overall and age group winners, but you need to be present to claim one.

Common Questions About the DRC's Frigid 5K & 10K

Will I finish last at the DRC's Frigid 5K & 10K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 33:44, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:08, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the DRC's Frigid 5K & 10K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 206 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the DRC's Frigid 5K & 10K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:49 while the median finisher took 33:44. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.

Where can I train for the DRC's Frigid 5K & 10K?

Join a local run club. 214 Run Club, Dallas Running Club, Run It Up Dallas and others in Dallas welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
