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”.

REFUND POLICY: Regrettably, we cannot offer refunds. While we reserve the right to cancel the race in case of “force majeure” (“unforeseen circumstances or acts of God”), such as extreme weather, terrorism, war, safety concerns, as well as any other circumstances beyond our control. 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.
