Join us for the 8th Annual FROZEN RAILS 5K & 10K in Midway, KY on MonDAY, JANUARY 1, 2025, at 2pm. Kick off the new year with a healthy start at this run/walk event through the historic town of Midway. Our races will start/finish on West Higgins Street.

Our RACE DAY HEADQUARTERS will be at MIDWAY BAPTIST CHURCH (ADDRESS: 121 S WINTER ST, MIDWAY, KY 40347). We'll have packet pickup and onsite registration (cash or check) from 12:30-2pm. The church has a community center to stay warm before heading to the starting line outside.
