We are back to keep you on the move this winter, even when it is freezy and breezy. Motivate yourself by signing up for all four races in the series (and get the coveted Freezy Cheeks neck gaiter to keep those cheeks un-freezy) or by signing up with a buddy. Either way, you have extra reason to get out there and you will even save a bit on registration.
