Fudgcicle 5K Series

 

The Fudgcicle series will begin its 50th year!  Welcome to 2025!

 

 

As you already know this is a no frills run – no water stops – just pure running.  And you do not need to be a GLRR member to run.

The last date, Feb. 22, is the TWO-SOME Run, where you pair up with someone else, and your combined times are totaled for ranking.
