Road Race Series

Festive Athlete Feature: The Tokos, the Vaccariellos & the Munns!

When it comes to holiday traditions, these three families don’t just deck the halls — they deck the streets of Downtown Hudson on Christmas Eve morning for the Frosty 5 & Mistletoe Mile!

For the past two years, this spirited crew — split between Northeast Ohio and Canada — have bundled up, shown up, and turned race day into a full-on family celebration. And this year? Round THREE!

Frosty race day is their holiday tradition, complete with cheering, laughing, and kids running around like elves on espresso.

These families bring the joy, the energy, and the festive cheer that make the Frosty 5 and Mistletoe Mile so special.



Here’s to another year of memories, miles, and holiday magic together!
