Frosty Frolic 5K - Fort Wayne

Frosty Frolic 5K - Fort Wayne is set for Shoaff Park in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on December 20, 2026, with the 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 2:00 p.m. This community event closes out the Epic Running Series, so the field is likely to include runners who have raced together across the season as well as newcomers turning up for a single winter 5K.

An early-afternoon start is the friendliest slot on the calendar: you can eat breakfast, digest properly and warm up without rushing, which is rarely true of an 8:00 a.m. race. Use it. Fifteen minutes of easy jogging with a few short pick-ups will have you ready to run hard from the gun. Park courses can mix pavement with softer paths, so a general-purpose trainer is a safer shoe choice than a racing flat.
