New For 2025!
Welcome to Frigus 2025! We are excited to offer some new distances and courses to the race this year. the 60K Ultramarathon is back and the course is fantastic and challenging. It will include 2 laps of the new 30K distance that will run the entire perimeter of the park, with a second lake, and more overlook views from on top of the mountain. It is a beautiful course. the 15K course is largely the same with one minor tweak to make it overlap as much as possible to the 30K. The 4.7 mile will be similar to last year, and will climb to the top of the overlook with the other distances. It is mostly the same but we are just calling what it is, instead of billing it as a 5k as we did in past races.
