We Came, We Thawed, We Conquered Holiday Races

Be a part of a new Holiday event in the Lehigh Valley at the We Came, We Thawed, We Conquered 5K and 5 Mile Holiday Races. The race on the Sand Island Park Trail offers a nice course next to the river, a flat course to fast times, excellent shirt art and awards, post race hot chocolate. All athletes will also receive an oval THAWED Sticker as well.

Both the 5K and 5 Mile races are on the trail. It is hard packed and flat. We’ll have a aid station for the 5K at mile 1.25 (you’ll also see at at mile 1.8 after the 5K turnaround). The 5 Mile race can use the mile 1.25 aid station and also the mile 2 aid station, so that will have 5 mile runners passing an aid station at miles 1.25, 2, 3 and 3.75.

Compete in the 5K/5 Mile Challenge: Be eligible for more awards and receive a Thawed bar glass! The Challenge is to run the 5K at 9 am, then the 5 mile at 10 am. There are awards for the Challenge competitors as well. You can win awards in the 5K, the 5 mile and in the Challenge!

Walkers are welcome in the 5K race. There will be awards for walkers as well.

We’ll have plenty of porta-potties and a well organized event.
