Frozen Challenge

2026 Black Hills Runners Club Frozen Challenge

Don’t let winter slow you down! The 2026 Black Hills Runners Club Frozen Challenge is your chance to stay motivated, log winter miles, and keep moving through the coldest months of the year.

The challenge runs February 2, 2026 through March 29, 2026, giving you nearly eight weeks to rack up miles at your own pace. Whether you’re running indoors on the treadmill or outdoors on roads or trails, every mile counts.

Participants will estimate their weekly mileage at the start of the challenge and report mileage to their team each week, helping build accountability, consistency, and a little friendly competition.

Once the challenge wraps up, we’ll celebrate all your hard work with a pizza party at Marco’s Pizza—because winter miles deserve a warm, cheesy reward!
