Frozen Footrace

Frozen Footrace takes place in Erie, Pennsylvania, as part of the Special Olympics Pennsylvania Polar Plunge season. This event bundles a new Frozen Footrace 5K around Presque Isle with existing options: a 5K Race, a One Mile Chilly Walk, and a 10K Race. The standout feature is the 5K that serves as a warm-up before plunging into Lake Erie in late autumn, delivering a true winter-chill experience.

The atmosphere blends competitive running with plucky, fun-filled polar plunge energy, celebrating a decade of lake plunges. Proceeds benefit Special Olympics athletes. On-site registration is available, and the course centers at Beach 7 near Presque Isle. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
