Frozen Feet Fun Run

The Frozen Feet 4k, which was shortened to one mile last year due to icy weather, has become a one-mile race in 2026 and beyond to make it a fun activity for all people to warm up to the holiday spirit in Spring Valley. Now called the Frozen Feet Fun Run (walkers encouraged), it will be held during Christmas on Historic Broadway Avenue in Spring Valley Saturday, Dec. 12, with a drawing for prizes and free drinks at Stellar 181. 

The Kingsland Youth Football group will sponsor the event again this year, handling organization of the run set for 11 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 12. All proceeds will go to the program, which is the training ground for varsity players who have had much success in recent years.

The first 36 registrants will receive colorful Christmas socks. Others will receive Santa hats and all will be eligible for a drawing for prizes after the race.

The Mundfrom Building, 124 North Broadway Avenue, will be the meeting place and finishing location again this year. Baked goodies and other treats along with hot chocolate and coffee will be available at the end of the event.

During the post-event festivities, awards will be presented to the overall male winner, overall female winner and the runner with the most festive outfit. The awards are being made by students in the metal art program at Kingsland High School.

Once again, the event will have several gifts available to participants through a drawing at the conclusion of the run/walk through a festive Spring Valley that is decorated for the annual Christmas event. Several local businesses have generously donated gift cards and other goodies that will be distributed through the drawing. 

Participants in this year’s event will receive one free drink from Stellar 181. Those under 21 years of age will get a virgin Stellar Punch while people 21 and older will get their choice of a virgin or regular Stellar Punch. The drinks will be available at Stellar 181 after the post-run awards.

Participants will be able to join the run for a $15 entry fee. There is also an option to contribute additional dollars to the Kingsland Youth Football program. Donors will get extra tickets for the drawing of prizes. All proceeds go to the youth program as the race has been simplified to remove costs that use registration money.

The route will be finalized closer to race day as it may vary depending on weather conditions.

The event is part of Christmas on Historic Broadway put on by the Spring Valley Chamber of Commerce. Other events include a supper with Santa Claus and a light parade in the evening of Dec. 12. The entire list of events is at springvalleychamberofcommerce.com.
