Now Virtual! Beginning JUNE 27, 2020
This event will now follow a virtual format, for the 2020
offering only. Participants may complete one of the three distances offered (ie--50k, 34k, or 17k) at the location of their choosing between 12:01am June 27, 2020 and July 24, 2020. The distance must
be completed in one continuous activity, however, the time limit for completion (usually imposed for the physical event) no longer applies! So, if you normally were concerned you couldn't finish the
50k distance in the allotted 8 hour time frame--give it a try! You can walk it in 12 hours, or crawl it in 20 hours, just so long as it is one continuous activity (continuous means you didn't pause
your tracking application...you made continuous, relentless forward progress for the duration of the activity). All finishers will receive at least a medal and cinch bag (provided by our sponsor
DICK's Sporting Goods) following submission of results and confirmed 50k finishers (ie--from proof uploaded to the self-reporting page) will also receive a special 50k finisher item.
Every year, our race donates 100% of the proceeds to local charities that are focused on the improving the well-being of our community. This year we will continue our commitment to improving the
lives of those in need in our community. All proceeds from this virtual edition of the Frozen Heart race will benefit The Mission--a homeless shelter located in Great Mills, Maryland that operates
solely on funds donated by the surrounding community. Currently, The Mission is experiencing a funding shortfall that may led to the loss of the lease on the building they currently occupy. Be
assured that with your registration, you will be helping make a difference to enrich the lives of those who are without permanent addresses in Southern Maryland.
