About the race
THE 2027 FROSTBITE is an annual road race presented by Chick-Fil-A of Starkville, held in Starkville, Mississippi on January 30, 2027. The event began more than 41 years ago and uses a course that begins and ends on Main Street, passing through the Cotton District, the Mississippi State University campus, and Starkville's Historic District.
The event offers the following distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
Chip timing is provided by Stearn's Race Timing. Participants receive custom medals and event swag including moisture-wicking shirts, race souvenir cups, and custom swag bags. Water access is arranged along the half marathon route with stations at approximately mile 4, mile 6, and mile 11; as a result, 5K entrants do not have water stations on course, 10K entrants have access to two stations, and half marathon entrants have access to five stations. The half marathon has a three hour time limit. Relay teams are not offered for the half marathon.
Packets can be picked up at the race site on race day; participants should bring a photo ID for packet pickup. Awards are distributed near the chip timing tent at the finish area. Parking is generally available in and around Main Street. The event supports the TK Martin Center and lists several local sponsors. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
