Join a beloved Peoria tradition at the 27th Annual Frosty 5K & Dog Walk on January 24, 2026, starting at 9:00 AM on the scenic Riverfront Trail in front of RC Outfitters. This family-friendly event welcomes runners, walkers, and leashed pups to support FamilyCore’s vital programs—touching over 19,000 lives in the tri-county area last year alone. Take advantage of the special family discount, registering three together for just $90, and make it a memorable morning of fitness and community along the Illinois River.
After crossing the finish line, the celebration continues at the Peoria Riverfront Museum with an after-party featuring refreshments, race results, and a silent auction. Whether you're chasing a 5K personal best, enjoying the 1-mile dog walk, or supporting a 125-year legacy of service, your participation directly strengthens local children and families. Bundle up, leash up, and step into a winter tradition that warms hearts and changes lives.
