Due to the way RunSignUp runs things, we have to designate a certain number of slots for each distance. Right now, that is 225 slots for the long course, and 75 slots for the short course. If the distance you want is full and there are available slots for the other distance, sign up for the open slot and we will manually move you to the correct distance after registration closes. Just email thefrozensnot@gmail.com if this is the case.

WAIT LIST:

Our event is limited to 350 runners. Our event sells out very fast (in 22 minutes last year). Once we reach 350 runners, wait lists for both distances will open.

  • You will not be charged for adding your name to the wait list.
  • As runners withdraw from the event, those on the wait list will be given an opportunity to register based on their position on the wait list.
  • You will be notified via email if you are selected and have 48 hours to register once the email is sent.
  • You can view your position on the wait list via your profile on RunSignUp. If you are at the top of the waitlist, we recommend that you keep an eye on your inbox. If the invitation is not accepted after 48 hours, it will automatically move on to the next person on the wait list and you will lose your spot. 
  • If you are invited off the waitlist after December 31, 2023, we cannot guarantee the availability of swag; however, we will do our best to ensure that each participant receives something.
