Races and format

The four races are The Chill 4K (December 6, 2025, at Riverfront), The Flurry 5K (January 3, 2026, at High Sierra), The Blizzard 8K (February 7, 2026, at Zimmerman), and The Thaw 10K (April 4, 2026, at Swords).

Runners earn series points for each race: 1st = 25 points, 2nd = 24, 3rd = 23, continuing down to 5 points. Participation, volunteering, or a runner's first race each award 5 points. The top five overall series finishers receive cash prizes: $100, $75, $50, $25, and $15 respectively. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
