Rio Frio 5k on Ice

Get ready to lace up your spikes for America's most extraordinary 5k experience on January 27th, 2024! Picture yourself sprinting across the frozen expanse of the Rio Grande, surrounded by the stunning San Juan and Sangre de Cristo mountains. And don't worry about slip-ups; a fresh layer of snow ensures your shoes have got your back. It's no surprise Runner's World Magazine spotlighted this event — it's spiked with chip timing and "cool" ice-themed awards for every skill level!

Should Mother Nature flex her muscles, we've got the perfect backup with a similar chilly thrill on Blanca Vista Park's frozen pond and charming levee trails. So, no matter what, you're guaranteed an icy escapade! For the best grip, think microspikes or any sturdy treaded shoe. Ready your soles the night before or the morning of the race, with easy pickup options for your race gear. This isn't just a race; it's a polar adventure waiting for you!
