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 2022 Frostbite Festival will have an In-Person and Virtual option. 

Guaranteed hoodie deadline is November 7, 2022.

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.

VIRTUAL INSTRUCTIONS

You will be able to run 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 lot. 

Submitting Your Result
Beginning December 4th 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 12.
