Event Description

Join us on January 26th for the first Sassquad Trail Running event of 2019! The Frosty Fat Sass is a fat-ass event for runners who love the cold (or runners who hate the cold but need to sign-up for an event because they need the accountability to keep running through the winter) and are ready for a physical and mental challenge! Runners can sign-up for a 5k, 3 hours or 6 hours. The 5K loop starts and finishes at the Turtleback Rock Picnic Area off of Walker Road in West Orange, NJ at the South Mountain Reservation. In lieu of a registration fee, we will be collecting monetary donations for the South Mountain Conservancy, an awesome local non-profit that preserves the South Mountain Reservation and provides great educational and recreational opportunities for the community. 

This is a runner, walker, hiker friendly event. All three events will start at 9AM on January 26, 2019. Check-in is from 7:30AM-8:30AM; all runners must be checked-in by 8:30AM.

For the 3 hour and 6 hour events, if the timer ends before the runner completes the loop, the loop does not count.

This is a self-supported fat-ass event! No finishers' swag, no aid stations and no whining (unless you don't see Sasquatch, then you can whine a little). We will provide water at the start/finish. BYO-fuel! Sharing is caring--don't be sassy with your stash--bring extra to share with the rest of the Sassquad.

5K runners will record their finish time on the large boards at the finish line. 3 hr and 6 hr runners are responsible for recording every loop on the large board.
