It’s always super cold when this event takes place – and hence the name – but that’s not the fault of the organizers. The cold weather is the only reason I would hesitate to run this race again.
The swag was an attractive New Balance half-zip and there was the usual free bottle of beer and bowl of chili afterward, along with protein bars, water, and bananas.
