Description

Welcome to the 60th Anniversary of the Frostbite Festival!

The Frostbite Festival takes place on the first Sunday of December each year. There are two options for these out-and-back races: a 2 mile and a 10 mile race.  For the safety and well-being of all participants, the 2023 Frostbite Festival will have an In-Person and Virtual option. 

Guaranteed shirt deadline is November 7, 2023

Race registration closes Friday, December 1, 2023 at noon.  There is no registration at Saturday packet pick up or on race day.  No transfers or sales between persons are permitted.  You must be registered by Friday, December 1 at noon to participate.

IN-PERSON INSTRUCTIONS

In-person race day details are still being finalized and will follow all local and state regulations and recommendations on race day.  Participants will receive an email with packet pick up and race day instructions before the race. If you do not start the in-person race, you will automatically be transferred to the virtual race following the in-person event.

VIRTUAL INSTRUCTIONS

You will be able to participate in the Frostbite Festival on your own time and on your own course. You choose the location and if you would like to run or walk. You do not have to run the course. If you choose to do so, please use extreme caution as that area can be heavily traveled by cars moving very fast. There will not be any course support, markings, or course marshals directing traffic. Also, please do not park in the Fit Club parking lot. 

Submitting Your Result
Beginning December 4, 2023 you will be able to submit your time.  To submit your virtual time, click on the link below. By your name, click EDIT TIME.  You can submit results from December 4 to December 10.

PACKET PICKUP 

Packet pickup will be held on Saturday, December 2, 2022 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.  More specific packet pickup instructions will be provided closer to race day.  You are welcome to have a friend or family member pick up your packet for you if can’t make it.
