WHAT TO DO IF YOU CAN'T MAKE A RACE
The Snowball Series is back for its 46th year in 2026, and we are excited to be back to a 5 race series! This year we will be capping off our series with a new 1 Mile race around beautiful Lafayette Square!
Join us for the full series while we tour areas of our beautiful city. Can't make it for all the races in the series? Sign up for any of the races individually. The series is designed to encourage you through the coldest months of the year while promoting health, fitness, and fun for people of all ages and abilities. So dress warm, bring some friends, and join our winter running family.

2026 Series Medals
We will once again have the option to purchase hot drinks from Travelin' Tom's Coffee at all five of our races! They offer the perfect way to warm up after a winter run.
Can't make it to the in-person events but want to be a part of the series and stay motivated? Sign up for the series as a virtual runner and receive the same swag and finisher medals as series participants, and complete the distance on your own!
