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, 50 slots for the short course, and 25 slots for the 25k. If you want to run the short course and it is full, but there are available slots for the long course, sign up for the long course and we we will manually move you to the correct distance after registration closes. Just email thefrozensnot@gmail.com if this is the case. 
 
READ THE RACE RULES IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE SIGNING UP!
A full list of race rules can be found here.

 

NEW this year -- 25k option! READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE REGISTERING:
  • Because this distance is new this year, we are only opening it up to 25 runners.
  • To register for the 25k, you must have completed the 13.5 course in under 5 hours within the past 5 years (2020-2024).
  • We will be verifying the above requirement. If you sign up for the 25k and you do not meet this requirement, you will be removed and we will refund your entry fee minus any RunSignUp fees. We will not give you the option to simply shift your registration to another distance, so make sure you actually meet the requirement before you sign up.
  • The 25k course is still pending the approval of the Lock Haven City Council. If it is not approved (which we don’t anticipate, but anything can happen), anyone signed up for the 25k will be moved to the 13.5 miler.
 
WAIT LIST:

Our event is limited to 300 runners. Our event sells out very fast (in 22 minutes last year). Once we reach 300 runners, waitlists 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, 2024, we cannot guarantee the availability of swag; however, we will do our best to ensure that each participant receives something.
