2024 Runtastic Frigid 5k

Last week Wolfpack had the honor of being the benefitting nonprofit for Runtastic Events’ Frigid 5k and Penguin Plunge. We are so grateful that Runtastic chose us for a second year to benefit from this awesome event. $2 for every registration will go to Wolfpack in addition to any other donations that participants wanted to donate during the registration process. We cannot thank everyone enough for their support. It means a lot to those of us who run Wolfpack. Click here for the official results.

This year we were blessed with really beautiful weather. It was chilly with temps in the mid-30s, but it was clear and sunny with no wind. There were about 850 participants this year (almost 150 more than last year!) and the course was fantastic.

Revin's mom, Tawny took the top spot for women. Way to go!!

Our 11-14 girls took NINE of the top ten places with Teagan H. in 1st, Bridget S. in 2nd, and Sophie S. in 3rd. How all of our Pack did is listed below.

We are so, so proud of our Pack, but also proud of the coaches and parents who ran this race. Both Coach Rachels were coming off of injuries and illnesses. Coach Rachel Tall had a traumatic head injury back in August and this was her first race back. Coach Rachel Small has been dealing with an ankle injury on top of fighting Covid a couple of weeks back. It was wonderful to see both of them cross the finish line in under 30 minutes.

After the race, the folks at Runtastic cut away a section of ice from the surface of Utah Lake and participants jump in! We had a handful of Wolfpack athletes take part.

I am sure there are more Wolfpack parents that I have missed. If so, my apologies, I am still learning everyone's names! So many thanks to Runtastic Events and everyone who came out to support Wolfpack.
