Frostbite Series | St. Louis Track Club

5K/20K Race Rescheduled!

Dear Frostbite Participants,

We are delighted to announce that the 5K/20K event has been rescheduled for February 22, 2025. We would like to thank the St. Louis Parks Department and Start2Finish for their flexibility in making this possible.

If you were registered for the original 5K or 20K and have already deferred to another Frostbite race, you can switch back to the 5K or 20K by emailing us at office@stlouistrackclub.com to let us know. Everyone registered for the series has automatically been moved to this new date, so there is no need for action on your part. Series awards will now be provided at the NEW final race date of February 22, 2025.

Series scoring will not change and we will continue to count your best 4 races for series standings.

We look forward to seeing you in Forest Park for the rest of the 2024-2025 Frostbite Series!

Embrace the chill with us this winter at the St. Louis Track Club Frostbite Series in Forest Park sponsored by SSM Health Physical Therapy.
