❄️ Frosty Five Run Overview

Join us for the 15th Annual Frosty Five Run. Enjoy the scenic cross country style course that starts at Studebaker Park Pavilion and follows the River Greenway Trail along the Elkhart River. The 5K and 5M courses will now all be almost entirely on paved trails. The City of Elkhart has paved the path for multi-use (bikes and running) and made some major improvements to the drainage so that flooding/freezing is less likely to occur.

We will be posting photos on Facebook to keep you apprised of the conditions as we get closer to the date.

🏃 Course Description

Flat, (ok there is one very small hill- which you hit twice) and one hill on the turnaround, scenic, tree-lined, paved for almost all of it, including the newest section of the path by the environmental Yes- that path has been elevated and paved, with the goal of connecting this to the MapleHeart Trail connecting to the Pumpkinvine. This is an out and back course, which is nice because you will never be alone on the course! You will see your mates along the way!

Note: There are two different starting lines for the different distances. The 5 MILE course starts in front of the Pavilion on McDonald Avenue and will follow the YELLOW arrow signs. The 5K course starts on the road by the parking lots and will follow green signs. You will have different colored bibs, so help each other out if you notice that someone didn’t get the memo on this detail.

🐕 Dogs

If you would like to run with your dog, you will need to fill out a waiver and adhere to the park rules. Please contact the race director for that waiver to register your dog!
