Fanny Freezer 5k
About this race
The Fanny Freezer is one of the earliest 5ks of the running season in Fort Wayne, so make sure you are ready for the cold February Indiana weather! We again will be using the Riverlodge Pavilion for packet pick up and availability of heated restrooms. Dress warm, the race name says it all!
