Frosty Squatchy is a trail running and running race on January 30, 2027 in West Orange, NJ, with entry fees from $30 to $55.
From the Organizer
The Frosty Squatchy is a Trail Party for runners and hikers of all ages and paces. Join us on January 30, 2027 for the 10th annual Frosty Fat Sass! Runners and hikers can sign-up for a 5k, 3 hours or 6 hours. The 5K loop starts and finishes at the Turtleback Rock Picnic Area off of Walker Road in West Orange, NJ at the South Mountain Reservation. Funds raised at this trail party will be donated to the South Mountain Conservancy, an awesome local non-profit that preserves the South Mountain Reservation and provides great educational and recreational opportunities for the community! We have raised over $20,000 for the Conservancy since we started up in 2018! (Because this event is a fundraiser, we will NOT OFFER REFUNDS OR DEFERRALS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT BEFORE YOU REGISTER, THANK YOU!) Please visit our website for the complete details on this race, course maps, gpx files etc!
