The Freezer Five Course:

The Freezer 5 course is 5 miles, mostly out and back, from the Houghton School in Sterling, MA.

The course passes by scenic farmland, and you may get a chance to see an airplane soaring overhead as you pass the Sterling airport.

The entire course is paved, and could best be described as “gently rolling”.

In the event that we are forced to cancel the live race, we will offer a virtual race option. Should this become necessary, we will make an announcement as soon as possible with details at that time.
