About the Frostbite Festival
The Frostbite Festival runs out and back, and the hills are the story. The organizers call them roller coaster hills, which is accurate enough that they have been saying it for years. The course is certified, so the distances are exact. It is a winter road race, and the surroundings along the route see real car traffic, so stay alert if you are running casually outside the in-person event.
Packet pickup happens the evening before the race, or on race morning outside AMF Springfield Lanes right up until close to the start. A friend or family member can grab your packet for you if needed, and there is also a mail option for those who cannot make either pickup window.
