Frugal Frolic 5k (Lucky Leprechaun) : March 14, 2026
The event is a 5k loop around Colby Lake at Colby Lake Park, 9715 Valley Creek Rd, Woodbury, MN 55125. The race is presented in two formats: a standard Frugal Frolic 5k and a Lucky Leprechaun edition where participants predict their 5k finishing time; the winner is the participant who finishes closest to their predicted time without going over. The event is cashless. Published entry pricing shows $16.90 (includes a $1.90 fee). The race omits items such as tee shirts and other swag.
Logistics, rules and services
Registration is handled through RunSignUp. Day-of packet pickup will be available near the warming house pavilion; pre-race packet pickup the evening before is to be confirmed. The race is chip-timed and each runner must wear a visible bib and timing chip; results will be posted online. There are no aid stations; the event is self-supported so participants should bring their own water and nutrition.
There are two parking lots at the park and overflow parking at Valley Crossing Elementary School (9900 Park Crossing). Volunteers are planned for major turns and road crossings; roads remain open to traffic. Bikes, scooters or other wheeled devices are not allowed in the race unless pushing a stroller in the back. Overall male and female 1st–3rd place awards will be given. Volunteers may receive one free race entry valid for one year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
