Freedom Frosty 2026

Freedom Frosty is a December 5K in Bentonville, Arkansas, starting at Lawrence Plaza just north of the Downtown Bentonville Square. The race begins at 8:00 AM and serves as a winter-season kickoff, with runners and walkers participating in a short community race rather than a long-distance challenge. The event partners with Camp Alliance, which supports Veterans, Military members, and their families through readiness and resiliency programs. Packet pickup occurs before race day, and there is no race-day registration. Every participant receives a shirt, with supplies managed through pickup. Dogs are not allowed on the course for safety. Volunteers assist as course marshals, finish-line crew, and Ready For Anything team members, with marshals directing traffic around the route.
