St. James 5K Chilly Chase POSTPONED TO 2/21/2026
New Date: 2/21/2026
Morning St. James families,
In consideration of everyone’s’ safety and in an abundance of caution, we need to postpone the 5K.
The forecast for this Saturday is calling for snow, ice and below freezing temperatures. When we called it the Chilly Chase, this is not what we had in mind!
We are looking for alternative dates and will communicate new details as soon as we can.
All registrations and sponsorships will transfer to the new date.
Thank you for your understanding.
