Frozen Assets 5K Run/Walk Off, Workout On!
Lake Mendota is covered with ice. However, with warm weather expected through Saturday, February 3rd, the integrity of the lake ice quality will become questionable. In the interest of safety for all of our Frozen Assets 5K Run/Walk participants, we have decided to pivot the event to become Madison’s largest winter workout.
Join us on Saturday, February 3rd at The Edgewater to pick up your event t-shirt, receive your free beer/seltzer (courtesy Michelob Ultra), and participate in a Barre3 workout . While you won’t get to run or walk on the lake, this tailored Barre3 workout will incorporate strength, cardio, and mindfulness during these “coldish” winter months.Your registration supports work to protect and improve water quality in our lakes.
Before or after your workout, enjoy food and drinks at The Edgewater. The Market Café on the 7th floor of The Edgewater will be open starting at 7 a.m. for coffee and grab-n-go breakfast items. The Boathouse will be open at 9 a.m. and will have coffee and breakfast items as well.
