Swag

All participants will receive Ice Fest swag but you may also purchase a race shirt for $15 during registration.  The deadline to order your shirt is January 9, 2026.

All post-race activities will take place within the heated Hemlock Building, including the awards ceremony, which will begin at approximately 10:15 AM.

Awards will be given to the top 5 finishers, male and female.

The race will utilize chip timing. A timing chip will be on the back of your race bib, which should be worn on your front and visible at all times during the race.

We love dogs but this course is not the place for them.  They are welcome at the Start/Finish area provided they have all of their shots and are on a short leash.

All event parking will be in the Hemlock Building parking lots.  There will be no parking in the area around the front of the building where the event start and finish will take place.

The Frosty 5K has a NO REFUND policy.

You may transfer your registration  to another person.  There will be a $2 processing fee.

To transfer your registration to another person please log into Race Roster and select Transfer where prompted.  All transfers must be completed by Thursday, January 29 at 9:00 PM EDT.

This is the only way transfers or the selling of bibs between participants will be allowed. Anyone who is discovered to have purchased or accepted another person’s bib without submitting this form will be disqualified and banned from future races.

Live results on race morning HERE or by using one of the QR codes post around the finish area.  Official results will be posted here by Saturday afternoon.

Volunteers are the key to every successful event.  If you would like to be part of this one, please email mlharris@haywood.edu.
