About the Event

Experience a uniquely vibrant winter ultra along one of the South's most scenic urban routes at the Southern Freeze 50/50 in Columbus, Georgia, on Saturday, January 24, 2026. This event takes runners on a stunning tour of the Columbus and Phenix City Riverwalks, offering breathtaking views of the Chattahoochee River and passing landmarks like the world’s longest urban whitewater course. Choose your challenge from a 25k, 50k, or 50-mile distance, all starting and finishing at the festive hub of Scofflaw Brewing Company. For the ultimate annual test, commit to the "Freeze & Fried" combo, tackling both the winter race and its sweltering summer counterpart for a special award. Runners are fueled by legendary Southern aid stations featuring chicken and dumplings, sweet tea, and grilled cheese, alongside standard ultra fare. With generous time cutoffs, a participant beanie, and a finisher's medal for all, it’s designed to be as welcoming as it is challenging. Whether you're chasing a podium spot or a personal seasonal adventure, this race delivers a perfect blend of community warmth, urban exploration, and classic ultra endurance.
