About the Queen City Running Frosty 5K
The course starts and finishes at the YMCA, looping through the surrounding neighborhood streets. It is a mid-winter race, so expect cold pavement and whatever the season brings. The route is straightforward, and the YMCA anchors the whole morning, giving the start area a warm, sheltered feel before you head out into the cold.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a local running shop, with a brief window on race morning at the YMCA. After the race, post-race snacks are on hand, and the YMCA offers day passes if you want to follow a cold run with a sauna or a swim.
