Race Through Romeo's WinterFest in February!

Run or walk on Saturday, February 3 in Historic Downtown Romeo, MI for the 2nd Annual Romeo WinterFest 5K! This is a family-friendly event through the streets of Romeo. Choose between the 5K, 1 Mile, or Snowman 100 Meter Dash. There is a distance for all ages and all members of the family! The start and finish line will be located downtown (just north of 32 mile road) surrounded by the town's annual Romeo WinterFest. 

Race proceeds and sponsor fees benefit Romeo High School's Cross Country program: home of the MHSAA Division I 2020 (boys) & 2023 (girls) State Champions! Whether you live in Romeo, a neighboring town, or are from out of state, we invite you to come celebrate the Michigan winter and experience the charm of downtown Romeo.

Race Weekend Guide

This guide provides all information for those participating in the 5K or Snowman Dash! 2024's guide has been updated and is now available!

Race swag is sold out! Added new spots…

50 new spots just opened up but without shirts or medals! ❄️  We estimated shirt and medal orders based on the registration numbers we had at the beginning of January and are now officially sold out. 

We appreciate all of the support of #RomeoWinterFest5K & the Romeo Cross Country programs and wanted to open an option to run/walk with us on Saturday without receiving a shirt or medal. This of course means that the registration price will be discounted due to not receiving swag. You are still eligible for age group awards, will receive a bib for a timed 5K, can participate in the raffle, and can enjoy post-race food & drink with this registration option. 

Grab one of the remaining 50 spots below. 🏃 Thank you to everyone for your support!
