Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

The 2nd race in the Dirty Trail Series – LOVE the new Valentine’s Day theme logo & matching medal!
Choose your distance- 1 loop or 2 and run the well marked trials thru beautiful North Chagrin Reservation. A couple of big hills, tons of snow and ice that turned to slush as the day got warmer made this trail super tricky!

Congrats to all of my Team ER peeps – excited to see our little trail tribe growing! Quality swag & overall / age group awards. I worked extra hard for my 1st place age group today!

Race Recap By Brittany Kiehl:

I enjoyed this race and the weather could not have been more perfect for a winter run. This run is two loops around the lake at Munroe Falls Metro Park. You win based off of how close you are to your predicted time. Not the fastest runners. I was one of the top 25 so I recieved a prize. I loved the new design this year for the soft sweatshirts. It was red and had hearts for Valentine’s Day. We just wish strollers could have been allowed because Chris couldn’t race with the boys. Our boys love racing with us and always beg to come to races

Race Recap By Scott Orlando:

It was a beautiful morning for a run today at the Frostbite 5K Prediction Run with Ohio Team ER! This is a unique race because you win not by being fast but by being closest to your predicted finish time.  The weather was extremely pleasant for running.  It was a little chilly but the sun was shining and there was no wind so once you got warmed up it was really nice.  The course is two loops on the road around the park with lake views almost the entire route.  I showed up early to help with set up and registration.

Being that I am still in physical therapy for a back issue I went with a slow and easy predicted time of 26:40. Well being back on the start line got the best of me and I went out too fast. I did my best to slow down in the last mile, but I didn’t slow down enough and went under my predicted time by 1:03 minutes placing me 28th overall with a finish time of 25:37. I guess I’d rather be fast than predictable. It was a lot of fun to be running again in a race.

All runners received a custom race bib and a Valentine’s Day themed Frostbite 5K red crew sweatshirt.  Chips, bananas, cookies, and water were available after the race.  Prizes were awarded to the top 25 finishers.  The top 25 finishers each got their chance to choose a prize from the table which included apparel items from previous Frostbite 5K races along with other items from previous SARC races.

This is a great race that doesn’t really feel like a race.  It feels more like a fun group run with prizes at the finish.  There are no indoor facilities at this race so bring extra warm clothes to wear before and after the race.

Thank you to Josh Ritchie, Mickey Rzymek, and all of the SARC volunteers who helped put on another great running event!

A great event in a beautiful facility w/ so many friendly volunteers & fellow athletes. The event is run in waves & the hosts are efficient & organized constantly communicating w/ the athletes. Athletes receive a nice fleece blanket & post race snacks. Top 3 male and female winners receive a nice plaque. I am new to the triathlon world and completely out of my element! This was a really great way to meet some triathletes and get more familiar with the sport. Very happy with my 15th overall place!

Race Review By George McFall:

Shakeout run with Believe In The Run at the Donna 5K. Pancake flat course. It was hard to not go all out but needed to because I am doing the marathon on Sunday morning.
Great event and volunteers. Athletes Village had a bunch of vendors. I placed 8th in my age group.

Record breaking temps in Jacksonville Beach for the DONNA marathon!
Not typical weather for Florida but being from Ohio, we are used to running in cold weather. It was 23 degrees with a feels like temp of 8 degrees with wind chill. The wind was brutal and it was in our faces most of the race. The few breaks we got were welcomed.
Flat George was dressed in half tights and several upper layers the night before the race but opted for shorts on race morning and only 2 extra layers. I doubled up on gloves and socks. I discarded the first layer (a sweatshirt) just before the start of the race and left the long sleeve on until mile 23. I finished with arms sleeves, singlet and one pair of gloves because the sun was out and it actually felt warmer.
The 26.2 with Donna The National Marathon to Finish Breast Cancer course started and finished at the Seawalk Pavilion. We ran through several neighborhoods. Plenty of aid stations with water and Gatorade and some offered Huma energy gels. Crowd support was great with some neighborhoods going all out with pink decorations and music. The course was well marked for the turns.
The Athletes Village offered a variety of things like food, drinks, gear check, music, and the post race awards ceremony. There were plenty of porta-potties.
I am not a fan of a two loop course — seeing mile markers for miles I hadn’t hit yet plays with my mind. I started to look away as I approached them to help stay focused on the mile I was in. It all worked out.
I ran the 5k on Saturday morning as a shakeout run and finished with a time of 25:52 and got 8th in age group.
For the marathon on Sunday, I ran strong and placed 3rd in my age group with a time of 3:23:59. I have never been on the podium at a marathon before so this was such a nice surprise. I got another BQ but my BQ time from the Columbus marathon in October has a bigger bufffer (9 1/2 minutes) but still happy to be running consistent times the last 3 marathon — Buffalo – 3:19, Columbus – 3:20 and this one – 3:23.
Sorry for not having any Team ER gear on in any of the pics. I failed to pack anything.

This is my 2nd year running Dirty Snowflake and it continues to live up to its name!
Seasoned RDs have this race down – organized, thorough communication, and easy directions.
Ample free parking close to the start / finish
Indoor staging, restrooms, and main aid station
2 mile loop on well marked course consisting of road, gravel, and trail. Minimal elevation w/ a few technical areas makes this course very run-able.

4 hour endurance- run as many loops as you can in the 4 hour time limit
Choice of swag including an option to upgrade to a soft hoodie with the brand new snowflake logo

Bonus chili cook off between the vendors give you vegan / vegetarian / meat lovers options!
All runners receive a finishers medal with the new logo
Awards for top 3 overall and age group winners
I decided to run the 4 hour endurance this year with 2 goals…
No falling
Finish a strong half marathon
The loops were a little over 2 miles and I finished my race with a total of 16.37 miles earning 2nd in my age group!
I would definitely recommend!

Race Recap By Lisa Keane:

Long weekend in St. Louis? Let’s run!
Popular race series to support the local MS/HS track kids through St. Louis’s sprawling Forest Park!
Affordable $20 registration for any distance with add on options – love my soft cotton LS tee!
Starting line was a short walk from packet pick up – no clear instructions just follow the crowd.
Chip start / finish timing
Well marked course on paved roads with some elevation
Roads were open to traffic with volunteers spaced out to help with directions/ safety but there were a couple areas where runners had to stay alert and yield to cars.
Ample hydration stations on course and a full aid station with snacks at the end.
Awards for overall and 5 year age group winners 3 deep.
This was a fair sized crowd and I was pleasantly surprised to place 1st in my age group! Blue ribbon seemed appropriate for this MS/HS event.

Race Review By Gretchen Snyder:

I had the privilege of both volunteering at and racing Great New Year’s Eve 5k in Stow. Bib pick up went smoothly with short lines thanks to all of volunteers. The RaceDay CheckIn app is simple to utilize. Runners were gifted a fleece GNYER blanket in a color of their choice. The race started behind the high school, up up and up Newcomer Road and then through neighborhoods, then back. The race truly was uphill both ways, with an overall elevation gain of 171 feet (not bad for a 5k!). At the turnaround, the snow was falling and sticking to the ground (and my face), which made for a slick and slower return. Even with a slower than usual pace, I came in second in my age group and was awarded with a medal (and a sweatshirt as part of a random raffle).

Race Recap By George McFall:

A Christmas Eve tradition continues… I ran the Frosty 5 mile race this morning in Hudson. It was colder than expected which caused whatever moisture that was on the roads to freeze so there was ice on most of the course. I was reevaluating my approach then decided to just get after it but try to not take a spill. Mission accomplished! There was a large turnout—over 800 participants. Santa was at the start and finish. The best part about doing this race is seeing so many familiar faces and being able to catch up with some of them. Oh, and the 1,2, 3 cookies after the race were delicious. I felt I earned them after running so well. I placed 2nd in my age group and 47th overall. I missed out on 1st by 2 seconds.

Race Recap By Steve Zenar:

I had a wonderful time at the Frosty 5 Miler in Hudson, OH. This race has become an annual tradition for me and I always enjoy my time burning a few calories before settling in for a little Christmas celebrating with Family.  It was great to see so many Team ER teammates at the race this year! I placed 12th of 38 in my age group and personally had a great run setting several PR’s along the course (the only obstacle this year was slippery road due to a bit of black ice– fortunately no falling for me.
Wishing everyone on a Safe, Happy, and Healthy Holiday season & a Happy New Year!
See you all out on a course in 2026!
Race Recap By Lisa Keane:
Nothing like kicking off your Christmas holiday w/ a quick 5 mile run surrounded by over 800 of your closest running buddies! Start / finish located in Hudson square was absolutely beautiful with all the lights & decorations, music & cookies! Only thing missing was the snow.
Roads were ice covered so it did slow everyone a bit but I was happy with my “cautious” pace and placed 5/43 in my age group!
I can see this as a new holiday tradition!
Race Recap By Brittany Kiehl:
he race takes place on Christmas Eve every year. This was my fourth time participating and is a fun tradition. My family did the one mile race and it was very family friendly. However, the roads were quite slick with the black ice. At the finish line, Santa was giving high fives. There was hot cocoa, cookies and all kinds of snacks.
All runners received a wooden medal that doubles as an ornament. If you wanted you could choose to pay extra to receive a short sleeve tri blend tee (red or green) or a white tech tee with the race logo. Overall, a fun experience and would highly recommend this one!

Race Recap By Brittany Kiehl:

Yesterday, I made a very last minute decision to sign up for this race. (I signed up a couple hours before start time.) Chris was working in NY and the boys were getting stir crazy. So I was looking for something fun to fill the last part of our day.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect! The boys loved looking at all the lights. I am not sure if there is a way the course could be reversed. I think it would have been helpful to do the back half first while there is still a little daylight. Then come up through all the Christmas lights at the end so you can actually see. The reverse direction could have also helped the bottleneck right at the start when you cross the bridge. This was a fun festive 5K and I would do it next year.
