About this event
Rising NYRR offers free youth running activities in Prospect Park on the morning of the adult Frosty 5K. Children can join an age-appropriate dash, half-mile run or scored mile. The organizer welcomes participants of different abilities and announces a souvenir while supplies last.
Registration is required even though there is no entry charge. Choose the correct stage for the child’s age and review the family check-in instructions. The adult 5K has a separate paid entry process.
