🕵️‍♂️ Virtual Runner/Walker Opportunity

If you're not able to join us in person but still wish to support our cause, you can sign up as a Virtual Runner/Walker, and we'll mail your shirt and bib. Then (if you want) you can do your own Frozen Rails 5K or 10K on your own timeline in your own hometown. The cost of this option is $30.

🥫 Canned Good Drive

Bring canned or non-perishable goods to either packet pickup or the race, and we’ll see that they get distributed to those in need through the Midway Food Pantry. Thanks for your support!

📸 Best Finish Line Photo Contest

Thanks to Ruby Cline-Eaton who will be taking race photos at the Frozen Rails. We'll select one lucky winner of our "Best Finish Line Photo" to win a free registration to a future RaceRise race, so get ready for that finish line pic!
