Course & Travel Notes
The Frosty 5K takes place in Waco, Texas on December 5th, 2026, with an 8:00 AM start time just after sunrise at 7:13 AM, so bring a headlamp or reflective gear if you're sensitive to low light. You'll be running at a modest 486 feet elevation, so no crazy altitude adjustments needed. Waco Regional Airport is only 6.5 miles away, making it super convenient to fly in and out.
