About the Freeze Your Buns Run 5K
This race runs through Spencer as part of the town's German Christmas Marketplace, so the start area is already dressed in lights and holiday market stalls when you line up. The course goes out into the surrounding streets and comes back to that same festive hub, meaning the finish feels genuinely celebratory rather than just an empty parking lot.
Check-in opens well before the gun and runs until just before the start, with on-site registration available if you decide to join last minute. After you finish, the Winterfest celebration is right there, with food, hot chocolate, and a costume contest with awards announced on the main stage.

The Freeze Your Buns Run 5K has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
