RACE ANNOUNCEMENT:
The race is ON. Our team is on site setting up, and people are already at the park running.

That said, due to snow & travel, we are offering the option to transfer to a virtual race for anyone who is unable to attend in person.

If you would like to come out simply to pick up your shirt, medal, snap a picture and enjoy refreshments, you are welcome to do so.

Participants who wish to move from the half marathon to the 5K are also welcome - just let the folks at check in know.

Our event team will be on site with refreshments, bibs, and shirts for all attendees. If you choose to go virtual, you may submit your time after completing a run at any point during this week.

We encourage everyone to use caution while running today. This is not PR weather. It is a chance to have fun and enjoy a run in the snow.

All registered participants will also receive a $10 discount toward the NSRF Polar Bear Half Marathon & 5K at Prospect Park next month.

Please be on the lookout for a follow-up email later today with additional details on the discount.

Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate everyone’s flexibility.
