What is Melt the Trail? Melt the Trail started in 2015 to provide a run that gives you an opportunity to work on your training in the winter! Come out and melt the trail at Grand Park as you run or walk the 5k/10k courses.

Does my child in the stroller need to pay? Children who are young enough to ride in a jogging stroller are FREE (no t-shirt included and do not need to be registered.)

Can my child participate in the race? What about my dog? This race is for ALL ages. Everyone who is able bodied to participate can sign up! However, you cannot bring your dog. Grand Park Sports Campus has a strict no animals policy.

Can I run/walk with a jogging stroller? Yes you may! Jogging strollers will be asked to start in the back of the race for safety reasons.

When and where is packet pick-up?
Thursday, February 21st from 11am-2pm @ Centier Bank Westfield
Friday, February 22nd from 4pm-7pm @ Centier Bank Westfield
Saturday, February 23rd from 7:30am-8:45am @ Grand Park

What are my parking options? Grand Park has plenty of options when it comes to parking, but your best option would be to park in Lot C off of Grand Park Blvd.

What do I do if I think I won an award? If you think you won an award, please visit the red ticket trailer after the race.

I can no longer participate, can I get a refund? There are no refunds.

What is the weather policy? This is a rain or shine event, please adjust for the conditions expected event day. We want this to be a safe event for everyone involved, so a delay or cancellation may happen depending on the conditions. In the event of a delay or cancellation, there will be no refunds issued.
