About the Frigid 8 and Thermal 3
Both courses head out from a residential street in Chippewa Falls into open countryside, passing dairy farms and rolling fields. The longer route traces a lollipop shape, pushing past the starting point and winding through a few extra street corners at the end. The shorter course turns around and retraces the same road, then finishes the same way.
Bathrooms are available at a Lutheran church along the course. There is a water stop partway out on the longer route, and water at the finish as well. After the race, runners bring chili and sweets to share, so there is usually something warm waiting.
