THE 2027 FROSTBITE
THE 2027 FROSTBITE is a multi-distance road race held in Starkville, Mississippi. The event traces a route that begins and ends on Main Street and incorporates the Cotton District, the Mississippi State University campus, and Starkville's Historic District. The race has been held for over 41 years and is presented by Chick-Fil-A of Starkville. The event supports the TK Martin Center and lists multiple local sponsors.
Distances offered:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The event uses chip timing provided by Stearn's Race Timing. Packet pickup is available on race day at the race site. Awards are handed out after each race and can be collected next to the chip timing tent at the finish area. The half marathon has a time limit of three hours.
Course services include three water stations placed for the half marathon at approximately mile 4, mile 6, and mile 11; this provides no water access for 5K registrants, two stations for 10K registrants, and five station opportunities for half marathon participants (out-and-back coverage plus the final station). Strollers are allowed but the course includes some small hills. Parking in and around Main Street is generally available though some participants may need to walk a few blocks.
