Bundle up and join the Clearfield YMCA for our annual WinterFest 2026—a full day of frosty fun, friendly competition, and winter traditions for the entire community! This action-packed winter celebration brings together runners, families, outdoor enthusiasts, and thrill-seekers for a day you won’t want to miss.
The day kicks off with the popular Freeze Your Gizzard 5K, challenging runners to brave the cold while enjoying scenic winter views. Throughout the day, families can take part in a Snowman Building Contest, showing off creativity and teamwork in the snow.
At noon, things heat up with the Arctic Toss Cornhole Tournament, followed by kid-friendly fun in the Kids Snow Box Derby, where young racers build and race their own snow creations. For those looking for something a little different, don’t miss the crowd-favorite Frozen Salami Sling, a lighthearted event guaranteed to deliver laughs and bragging rights.
WinterFest 2026 wraps up with the ultimate cold-weather challenge—the Polar Bear Plunge, where brave participants take an icy dip to support the Clearfield YMCA and its mission to strengthen our community.
Adding to the experience, Parker Dam State Park will be on site with educational programming, and Friends of Parker Dam will offer ice skate rentals along with an ice skate swap, making it easy for everyone to get out and enjoy the ice.
Whether you’re racing, plunging, building, tossing, or cheering from the sidelines, Clearfield YMCA WinterFest is the perfect way to celebrate winter, community, and fun—all in one unforgettable day.
