Frostbite Races - Event details
The Frostbite Races take place on February 15, 2026, at the Lelia Patterson Center (LPC Fitness & Aquatics) in Fletcher, North Carolina. The event is presented by Hunter Subaru and includes in-person and virtual options. Registration opens on September 18, 2025. Early registrants for the 10K receive a free long-sleeve Dri-fit shirt and 5K and 1-mile entrants receive a free short-sleeve Bella Canvas shirt if registered before January 18; shirts are available for purchase after that date. All participants receive a commemorative finisher medal. The event uses MyLaps chip timing with timing mats and offers awards by overall and age group. The 10K pays cash prizes to the top three male and female finishers: $100, $75, and $50. Permit approval is pending and the race date or course may change.
Course and logistics
All courses begin and end at the Lelia Patterson Center. Distances offered:
- 10K (6.2 miles)
- 5K (3.1 miles)
- 1-Mile fun run (un-timed)
The 10K and 5K routes are hilly and provide scenic views of Hutch Mountain. Net elevation gain is 464 feet for the 10K and 257 feet for the 5K; the one-mile route is flat. There are two water stations on the 10K and one on the 5K. Because some roads remain open to traffic, children 12 and under must be accompanied by a registered adult while on the 5K or 10K courses. A Family Fun Day and Wellness Expo is held indoors at the Lelia Patterson Center on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
