Frigid Forest 5k Hulbert

Frigid Forest 5k Hulbert takes place at Sequoyah State Park in Hulbert, Oklahoma, on December 5, 2026. A 1-mile fun run/walk goes first at 8 a.m., followed by the official 5K at 8:30 a.m., and both are open to participants whatever their level of fitness. A virtual option lets you run it elsewhere and submit your result afterwards, and every registered entrant gets a race shirt while supplies last.

Racing inside a state park means the footing is likely to vary more than on a closed street circuit, so shoes with a bit of grip are a safer choice than road flats. The half-hour gap between the two starts is enough to jog the mile as a warm-up and still line up for the 5K. If the 5K is your goal, six weeks of steady running gets most people there in shape to push the last mile.
