The event will kick off at 9:00 a.m. at the City Lights Stage on Santa Fe Avenue and Ash Street. 99KG's Shane McClintock will help start the festivities, and the Kid’s Santa Sprint will follow around 10:00 a.m. Participants can register and find more details at www.bbbssalina.org/frosty.
The Frosty Fun Runs are made possible through the support of sponsors including 99KG, Bennington State Bank, Mahaska, McDonald’s, Salina Regional Health Center, Schwan’s Company, Bank of the Plains, and many more.
