The first 75 runners/walkers will receive an entry gift. Registration fee is $20.00 per person if pre-registered before April 30, 2015. Registration is $25.00 the day of the race, beginning at 10:00 am. Children 10 and under are free.

Proceeds from the Frosty Drew 5K Classic are used to support the Frosty Drew Nature Center & Observatory’s mission of delivering environmental education to people of all ages, with a primary focus on marine aquatic habitats and the night sky.

The Observatory, with its 16-inch telescope and John G. Drew Sky Theater, is open to the public free of charge on Friday nights throughout the year, and on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer. It serves as a gateway to Charlestown’s extraordinary dark sky – the darkest between Boston and New York.
