THE 2027 FROSTBITE - Starkville, Mississippi
THE 2027 FROSTBITE is a road race in Starkville that offers multiple distances to participants. The event lists the following race options:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The course begins and ends on Main Street and passes through the Cotton District, the Mississippi State University campus, and Starkville's Historic District. The start/finish area is given as 300 University Dr., Starkville 39759. Organizers note that parking is available in and around the Main Street area and that some participants may need to walk a few blocks to reach the race site.
Timing and results are handled with chip timing. Participants receive custom medals, moisture wicking shirts, race souvenir cups, and custom swag bags. Awards are distributed near the chip timing tent at the finish. The half marathon has a three hour time limit; volunteers will begin clearing the course after that limit.
There will be three water stations positioned approximately at mile 4, mile 6, and mile 11. Based on that layout, the 5K does not have on-course water, the 10K has access to two stations, and the half marathon has access to five stations when accounting for the out-and-back portions. Early packet pickup location is to be determined and packets will also be available for pickup at the race site on race day. Strollers are allowed but the course includes some small hills.
