About the Frosty 5K and Jingle Bell Mile
The course starts and finishes behind a grocery store on North Main Street, on a soccer field beside an apartment complex. Getting there means parking at the shopping center and walking up a short hill behind it. The setting is unpretentious, which fits a late-season race that closes out a local race series.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at a local running store, with additional pickup available at the venue before the start. The mile goes off first, then the 5K follows shortly after. Awards and a raffle wrap things up once the field has finished.

The Frosty 5K and Jingle Bell Mile has been held every year since at least 2023. 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 Oct 18, 2026.
