About the GRRC Freezeroo Series
The Freezeroo Series is a winter road racing series in Rochester, with individual races spread across the colder months at different parks and venues around the area. Each race has its own course and start location, so the experience shifts from one event to the next. Roads stay open to traffic throughout, so runners share the pavement and are expected to run on the left.
Series participants pick up their bib at the first race and carry it through the whole season. There is no advance packet pickup; everything happens at the race site before the start. An early start option is available for those expecting a slower pace, and registration is open both in advance and on race day.

The GRRC Freezeroo Series has been held every year since at least 2014. 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.
