About the Frosty Squatchy
The Frosty Squatchy runs through South Mountain Reservation, starting and finishing at the Turtleback Rock Picnic Area near Walker Road. It is a trail course, which means roots, rocks, and ground that shifts under your feet. Distance options range from a short loop to timed formats that let you decide how long you want to be out there.
The event raises money for the South Mountain Conservancy, the local nonprofit that stewards the reservation. That gives the morning a purpose beyond the run itself. Runners and hikers are both welcome, so the pace range is wide and nobody is in a hurry to clear the course.

The Frosty Squatchy has been held every year since at least 2018. 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 25, 2026.
