About Frosty Looper

Frosty Looper is an 8-hour race held at Cooper River Park on a fast and flat loop that has great views of the Philadelphia skyline and the water. This is one of the fastest timed and looped courses in the country, and a great course to set a PR or run your first ultra.

Registration is opening on 3/1/24.

Course

This is a 3.75ish mile loop on a paved running trail around a river. Mostly flat course with some gradual incline and 2 real hills.

2024 Double Looper Challenge

If you take on both Loopy Looper and Frosty Looper in 2024 you'll be taking home a special edition hybrid medal (2022 medal in photos above).

Timing

Runners will have the hours of 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM to run as many laps of the 3.75ish mile loop around Cooper River Park as you want. Partial laps will not be counted, no new laps will be allowed to start as of 3:30 PM, and all loops MUST be completed by 3:59 PM for mileage to count.

This rule requires some level of strategizing for the runners.

Swag and Prizes

All runners will receive a Frosty Looper custom race item(s).

We are not doing a medal with this event.

Awards for the top 3 females and males.

Aid Stations & Pit

At the Start/Finish area at the stadium, there will be a drop/pit area for you to stash your stuff for the day. We ask that you do not bring any tents larger than 10x10! NO TENT STAKES are allowed. Please plan to weigh your tent down if you bring one.

There will be a food aid station and a hydration station at the start/finish, and this will be the only aid station. There will be nothing at the mid-point. Food like sandwiches will be made to order, and yes this will slow you down. Plan for that.

Otherwise, we plan on having a variety of snacks available, soup, quesadillas, hot water, and more

The official drink of Frosty Looper is Tailwind Nutrition! We will have Tailwind in the coolers ready to keep you running all day long.

THIS IS A CUPLESS RACE. This means we do not plan to have a ton of plastic cups for you waiting at the aid stations. Please plan to bring a bladder/pack, water bottle, or reusable cup to use for the day.
