On Saturday February 11, 2012, The Edmond Running Club will host its 17^th annual Frigid Five 5-mile run and 1-mile fun run to benefit Allied Arts, Edmond Parks and Recreation, and cross country teams from area high schools.

The event will be held at Edmond’s Mitch Park, and consists of a 5-mile run (9:00 a.m.), a 1-mile fun run (9:15 a.m.) and the McMurtrie Children’s 1-mile run (8:30 a.m.), which will count as an official mile in the OKC Memorial Children’s Marathon.  There will also be awards, door prizes, and food and drinks.

Participants can register online at www.signmeup.com or www.edmondrunningclub.com, and packets will be available for pick-up on Friday, February 10 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Elite Feet at 1237 E. Danforth or on the morning of the event starting at 7:00 a.m. at the Mitch Park MAC.  Registration for the 5-mile race is $25 including an event tech shirt, or $20 without one; $20 for the 1-mile adult fun run with a tech shirt, or $10 without one; and participation in the children’s run is free for children 11 years old or younger.  Registration will be available on the day of the event, but the entry fee will be $28 and there is no guarantee that shirts will be available.

Adult awards will be given for the 5-mile race to the standard 5-year USATF age groups, the top three overall male and female winners, and top three masters (50 years of age and older) male and female winners.  Youth awards will be given for the following age groups: 12 and under, 13-15, and 16-19.

The Frigid Five is the first jewel in the Triple Crown of February/March racing, followed by the Panera Jack Rector Beacon Run on March 10 (5K or 25K) and the St. Paddy’s Day Great Race of the Great Plains 8K on March 17.  Each racer’s finishing position in that age group in each race is totaled and the lowest number for each age group wins the Triple Crown in that division.  The male and female who have the lowest total points over the course of the three races will be the overall winners of the Dr. Tom Coniglione Chalice. Entry for the Triple Crown is $65, or $50 for age 19 and under.
