The Frostbite races, presented by Willow Creek Dental, begin and finish at the Lelia Patterson Center and feature a Family Fun Expo with games, booths & music. Both the 10k and 5k courses provide views of Hutch Mountain and are on hilly to challenging terrain, with some steep inclines. The moderately rolling 1 mile course, makes this premier racing event an opportunity for all running levels and ages.
NEW EXCITING ADDITIONS FOR 2019!
- We have an updated 1 Mile Run/Walk Course for both kids, youth and adults to enjoy! All one mile finishers will receive a custom-designed, commemorative finisher award.
- New (2 Person) Partner Team Category! The 27th Annual Frostbite race is during Valentines week! So what better way to celebrate than to grab your sweetie and sign up for the new 2 person partner team competition. The 5k Sweetheart Team Competition and 10k Valentine Team Competition categories give runners the opportunity to run with your significant other. Team participants are eligible for additional prizes & awards. Select this option to be scored as an individual & also scored as a team. Team times will be combined and averaged for the fastest overall team times. Each team participant must register in the team category separately and then select the same team name to be paired up. Note: Both participants on the 2 person team must run in the same distance race. There is a 5k team option and a 10k team option.

COURSE & MAP
The Frostbite races begin and finish at the Lelia Patterson Center located at Howard Gap Road & Naples Road in Fletcher, N.C.
10k Route: Start at the Lelia Patterson Center, 10k runners take RIGHT onto Howard Gap Rd. Runners will continue on Howard Gap past Hutch Mountain Rd and past Patty’s Chapel Rd and go all the way to Jackson Rd. They will turn right on Jackson Rd and run to Patty’s Chapel Rd. They will then turn right onto Patty’s Chapel Rd and run to Howard Gap Rd. They will turn left at Howard Gap Rd back toward Hutch Mountain Rd. They will turn left onto Hutch Mountain Rd and make a U-turn on Hutch Mountain Rd and run to the finish line at the LPC. (10k runners watch for U turn signs on Hutch Mountain Road.)
5k Route: Runners will start at the Lelia Patterson Center, several minutes behind the 10k runners. 5k runners will turn right onto Howard Gap road and then a RIGHT at Hutch Mountain Rd, continue on Hutch Mountain Rd to approximately Pitman Rd, where they will make a U-turn and proceed to the finish line at the LPC.
We strongly encourage 10k participants to be able to run/jog the full distance of this race due to this run course being on busier roads in Fletcher, NC. The 5k race will veer off of Howard Gap road rather quickly after the start of the race, so walking the 5k event is allowed.
1 Mile Route: Frostbite One Mile Fun Run/Walk - Begins at the Start line beside LPC, loops around by Fletcher Academy, follows path to track, run lap around track and around ball field (2x) and then return to path to Lelia Patterson Center and the Finish Line. New Route Map
