Due to the way RunSignUp does things, we have to designate a certain number of slots for each distance. Right now, that is 225 slots for the long course, 50 slots for the short course, and 25 slots for the 25k. If you want to run the short course and it is full, but there are available slots for the long course, sign up for the long course and we we will manually move you to the correct distance after registration closes. Just email thefrozensnot@gmail.com if this is the case.
Open to participants 16+!

NEW this year - 25k option!
You're reading this correctly!
NEW this year, from deep inside the devious mind of our Trail Boss Paul Noll, we bring to you the Frozen Snot 25k course.
The 25k course will add ~3 miles to the 13.5 mile course, and ~600 feet of elevation gain. This addition will be much more runnable than the rest of the course.
Because this distance is new this year, there are a few caveats:
-
We are only opening registration for this distance to 25 runners.
-
To register for the 25k, you must have completed the 13.5 course in under 5 hours within the past 5 years (2020-2024).
-
We will be verifying the above requirement. If you sign up for the 25k and you do not meet this requirement, you will be removed and we will refund your entry fee minus any RunSignUp fees. We will not give you the option to simply shift your registration to another distance, so make sure you actually meet the requirement before you sign up.
-
The 25k course is still pending the approval of the Lock Haven City Council. If it is not approved (which we don’t anticipate, but anything can happen), anyone signed up for the 25k will be moved to the 13.5 miler.
Under 16?
Participants must be at least 16 years old unless an exception is issued by the race team. Exceptions may be granted to those under 16 who -- by their trail/race experience -- show the Frozen Snot team that they are capable of completing this course. Any participant under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (i.e. the parent/guardian must be registered for the event and must run with the underage participant the entire race).
There are several factors we consider when determining if a minor under the age of 16 can participate in the event. These include (but are not limited to) the trail events your child has completed within the last year, as well as whether you have run the Frozen Snot in the past. Email thefrozensnot@gmail.com with this information if you would like us to consider your child for an exception -- even if you have been granted an exception in the past.
Be aware that our team consists of trail runners who have participated in multiple trail events of varying distance and difficulty. Most of our team have completed the Frozen Snot — several times. If we have concern that your child will be in over their head and subsequently hurt, we will deny your request. We will ALWAYS encourage your child to continue trail running throughout the year and submit another request the following year!
At the end of the day, the final determination as to whether your child can participate safely is up to us. Our final decision is just that: final. You will get nowhere by arguing with us.
Participants under 16 years old are officially registered on race day. You may NOT register a child under the age of 16 with a false age/birthdate in order to bypass the RunSignUp age limit. If we find that you've registered a minor with a false birthdate, you and the minor will be removed from the event and you will not receive a refund.
We take this policy very seriously, for the safety of all involved in this event. If you receive an exception to register a child under the age of 16 and we find that you did not run with them as required, you will be disqualified and you will not receive a refund.
WAIT LIST
Our event sells out very fast (in 22 minutes last year). Once we reach 350 runners, wait lists for both distances will open.
-
You will not be charged for adding your name to the wait list.
-
As runners withdraw from the event, those on the wait list will be given an opportunity to register based on their position on the wait list.
-
You will be notified via email if you are selected and have 48 hours to register once the email is sent.
-
You can view your position on the wait list via your profile on RunSignUp. If you are at the top of the waitlist, we recommend that you keep an eye on your inbox. If the invitation is not accepted after 48 hours, it will automatically move on to the next person on the wait list and you will lose your spot.
-
If you are invited off the waitlist after December 31, 2023, we cannot guarantee the availability of swag; however, we will do our best to ensure that each participant receives something.
REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY
Participants who are no longer able to attend the event are eligible to receive a 50% refund minus processing fees until 10/31/24, and a 25% refund until 1/15/25. Participants can request a refund through RunSignUp. Race registrations are not transferable to other participants or eligible to be deferred to future races.
Your registration fee includes a race bib, a start and finish line, professional timing with results posted online, and a marked course. Your registration fee does not include swag. If you request a refund, you will not receive swag.
If you are removed from the event or disqualified due to violating race rules, you will not receive a refund for your registration fees.
