Il Runtastic FRIGID è una 5K invernale che si fa a Utah Lake State Park, a Provo. C'è anche un "Penguin Plunge" nell'acqua gelida, per chi cerca una sfida in più dopo il traguardo. La gara parte la mattina. Puoi iscriverti solo alla 5K, solo al tuffo, o a entrambi gli eventi. Visto che si corre a gennaio, il nome dice tutto sulle condizioni: una corsetta su strada e sterrato, seguita da un tuffo facoltativo nelle acque invernali di Utah Lake. Il percorso della 5K usa il Provo Delta River Trailhead, e il paesaggio principale è quello di Utah Lake con le montagne intorno. Il tuffo è una cosa particolare: gli organizzatori tagliano un quadrato di ghiaccio nel lago e mettono una gabbia di sicurezza nell'apertura prima che i partecipanti entrino. Tutti i partecipanti ricevono un berretto FRIGID e i guanti. Chi finisce la 5K prende una medaglia, mentre chi partecipa al tuffo riceve un portachiavi a forma di pinguino e un adesivo. Una parte della quota di iscrizione va al Wolfpack Running Club.
