THE 2027 FROSTBITE
THE 2027 FROSTBITE is a winter road race in Starkville, Mississippi held on January 30, 2027. The event was established over 41 years ago and features three race distances:
- 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. Chip timing will be provided by Stearn's Race Timing. Custom medals, moisture wicking shirts, race souvenir cups, and custom swag bags are listed as participant items. Organizers note that swag quantities are estimated in advance and may be limited.
Water stations are placed along the half marathon route at approximately mile 4, mile 6, and mile 11. This provides no on-course water for 5K runners, two stations for 10K runners, and five stations for half marathon runners. The half marathon has a three hour time limit after which course support will end. Strollers are allowed but the course includes some small hills. Relay entries are not offered for the half marathon.
Packet pickup will be available race morning at the race site, with an early pickup location to be determined. Awards are available next to the chip timing tent at the finish area. The event lists Chick Fil A of Starkville as the title sponsor and the TK Martin Center as a charity partner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
