About the race
Frosty Woods is a winter trail running event in Ringwood, New Jersey on November 29, 2026. The event is organized by Way Over Yonder Trail Run Series and offers these distances:
- Half Marathon 13.1 miles
- 10K
- 5K
The course is mostly singletrack through forested terrain and includes scenic viewpoints. The Half Marathon is a contiguous 13.1 mile loop with about 1,600 feet of elevation gain. The 10K loop has about 700 feet of elevation gain. The 5K course is described as accessible and has just under 400 feet of elevation gain. The course will be marked with arrows and survey tape and a cupless aid station will be provided (Mile 5.1 on the Half, Mile 4.5 on the 10K). Final routes may be adjusted based on course conditions; changes will be communicated to participants.
All registered runners receive access to RideWithGPS for course navigation and audio turn cues. Portions of the course are technical and participants are asked to carry required gear including a charged cell phone, a hydration pack or bottle, at least 200 calories of food, a whistle, and microspikes or Yaktrax if there is snow. Long sleeve technical T shirts will be available for sale by pre-order. There is parking at Shepard Lake, a short walk from the start and finish. Volunteers receive race swag and join the post race celebration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
