    Registration and pre-race details

    The Frostbite Series will take place at its usual short and long course series of races starting at the Forest Park Visitors Center. We strongly encourage participants to preregister as limited race day registrations will be available. For those who cannot compete in the entire series, single race registrations are also available.

    The long and short course series will each have its own set of starting times. The start for the long race will begin at 8:00 a.m. The start for short races will begin at 8:15 a.m. Bib numbers can be picked up prior to race day - see below. Bibs should be kept and used for the duration of the series. Replacement bibs will be available should you lose/forget yours.

    Walkers for the LONG RACE will have the opportunity to start at 7:30 a.m. Look for more information in the pre-race email.

    Middle school and high school runners have the option at registration to have their performance compared to peer runners in middle or high school school. If you wish to do this, click the middle/high school option button on your registration.

    Pre-race instructions will be sent to participants prior to race day, including details for entering the starting area.

    PACKET PICK UP: Friday, December 12 from noon to 6 p.m. inside the Forest Park Visitor Center. Also each race morning outside the visitor center starting at 7 a.m.

    Race day details

    Starting lines will be near the Visitors Center in Forest Park. As with last year’s Series, we do not have a permit this year to use the Visitors Center on race day. While the Visitors Center is open, participants will need to follow its requirements for guests. Portable restrooms will be available in the parking lot across from the Visitors Center. We encourage participants to wait in their vehicles or outside before their start time.

    Water and safety stations will be set up on the course. Stations will have water and sports drink in cups. Participants will be required to pick up their own drinks at water stations. Participants are encouraged to bring their own water bottle or hydration device.

    Post-race refreshments will consist of water, sports drink, and pre-packaged products that participants can pick up on their own.

    Health safety protocols

    St. Louis Track Club encourages health and safety considerations regarding participants and volunteers. Participants will be required to follow any health and safety mandates that are in place for the City of St. Louis at the time of the race. Foremost, it is important to remember that the roads in Forest Park are open during the races, so walkers and runners should be vigilant throughout their races.

    Shirts and awards

    All series participants will receive a race shirt and series commemorative event medal. Shirts for series participants will be distributed at bib pickup. Participants in single races can purchase a shirt during registration.

    Awards will be given for each series (per gender) in the following age groups: 12 & under; 13-16; 17-19; 20-24; 25-29; 30-34; 35-39; 40-44; 45-49; 50-54; 55-59; 60-64; 65-69; 70-74; 75-79; 80 & over. Your age on December 14 will determine your age for the series, even if you're an individual race entrant.

    Series awards will be earned by accruing points across a maximum of four races (i.e., your four best races). There will be 5 awards per age/gender group. A runner’s races will be awarded points based on their age/gender group placement using the following scale: 1st – 50 points; 2nd – 45 points; 3rd – 40 points; 4th – 35 points; 5th – 30 points; 6th - 25 points; 7th - 20 points; 8th - 15 points; 9th - 10 points; all finishers receive 5 points. Details on receiving awards will be sent to recipients following the conclusion of the series. Only series registrants are eligible for series awards.

    For the individual races in each series, the top five runners in each age group by gender receive a ribbon. Results are posted by Start2Finish at the conclusion of each race. Participants may claim these awards by coming to the registration table.

    Cancellations and weather policy

    As with any race year, the safety and well-being of everyone is our utmost concern and we will keep all event options within the guidelines of the CDC, the State of Missouri, the City of St. Louis, and the Road Runners Club of America.

    Races will be held rain, snow, or shine and will not be cancelled except for cases of severe weather or unsafe road/course conditions. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or race day activities to ensure participant, volunteer, and community safety. The St. Louis Track Club is a nonprofit organization and all net proceeds are used to further the SLTC’s mission in the community. As such, no refunds or credits will be given in case of cancellation due to weather.

    Charity Shoe Drive

    We will be collecting your used running and other athletic shoes (cleats included). It doesn't matter what shape they are in, just bring them with you and drop off in the pile near race registration. Money raised from recycling the shoes will go to our Scholarship fund.

    Welcome to the Brian J. Smith CHAMP 5K! All proceeds from this 5K benefit CHAMP Assistance Dogs (www.champdogs.org) based in St. Louis, MO. In 2025, CHAMP placed 5 assistance dogs (service dogs and facility dogs), with each dog costing CHAMP up to $40,000. Part of the beauty of CHAMP is that these dogs are placed COMPLETELY free of charge.

    This 5K is in memory of Brian J. Smith, beloved husband, father, and friend. His memory is a blessing to all who knew and loved him. For years, Brian volunteered at CHAMP Assistance Dogs because he loved their mission, so we host this 5K in his memory to raise funds for them. The 5K has both virtual and in-person options. The in-person option is scheduled for Sunday, March 1st, 2026 (rain, snow, or shine) at 10:00 am at the Tremayne Shelter in Sailboat Cove at Creve Coeur Lake Park 13725 Marine Avenue St. Louis MO 63043.

    Our 5K is completely inclusive: you participate HOW you want, WHEN you want. The in-person event is fully wheelchair accessible. For the virtual event, we have had people: roll, run, walk, jog, dance, ice skate, and swim. All proceeds benefit CHAMP Assistance Dogs . Well behaved dogs on leads are always welcome!

    The in-person event starts at 10:00 am, feel free to come a few minutes early to collect your race packet (including your medal). If you registered for the in-person event but are unable to make it, your medal will be mailed to you.

    If you registered for the virtual event, your medal will be mailed to you. BE SURE TO SIGN UP FOR THE RACE YOU WANT: IN-PERSON OR VIRTUAL.

    If 5Ks are not your thing, please feel free to donate to CHAMP in Brian's memory: www.champdogs.org
