Frozen Foot Five Mile

The Frozen Foot Race is a 5 Mile Run/Walk and Kids 1 Mile Fun Run through paved neighborhoods at the base of the Old Mission Peninsula. This event, founded in 1987, kicks off the “marathon training season” and is now paired with the Traverse City Track Club’s Speaker’s Series, which brings in elite level distance runners from past and present.

The January event has been one of Northern Michigan’s staple running events since the late 1980’s. Held primarily in the Huron Hills area of Traverse City, the event is an annual favorite of the area’s year-round running community. Members of the Traverse City Track Club can participate in the event FREE of charge.

The 5 mile footrace begins at 9:30 and starts and finishes at Eastern Elementary School in Traverse City. Just prior to the 5 mile event, a 1 mile fun run (not timed) for runners 12 and under starts at 9:00.

Awards will go to the overall male and female runners in open and masters (40+) categories. Awards will also be given to the top 3 in 15 age-group divisions including 0-12, 13-15, 16-18, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75+
