Frozen Goat

On January 31, 2027, the Elgin Sports Complex will host the GRUMPY GOAT Frozen 4m and Winter Walk. This cold-weather event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages to embrace winter's chill with a scenic route through the heart of Elgin, Illinois. Participants can choose between a 1-mile walk or a more challenging 4-mile run along Sports Way, just south of IL-20 near McLean Blvd.
The race is sponsored by Dick Pond Athletics, Race Time Inc., and The Grumpy Goat Tavern, with proceeds benefiting local youth through the Elgin Parks & Recreation Department's Scholarship Fund. With limited spots available for only 150 participants, early registration is highly recommended to secure a spot in this frosty fun run.
The event kicks off at 10:00am sharp, offering runners and walkers an invigorating start to their day with the promise of snow or rain not deterring organizers from delivering an unforgettable winter experience. The course features picturesque views of Elgin's landscape blanketed under a crisp blanket of white, making it a must-attend event for those who love to lace up in cooler conditions.
The GRUMPY GOAT Frozen 4m and Winter Walk promises more than just a race; it’s an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of winter while supporting local youth programs. Don't miss your chance to join this spirited community event!
