Frostbite 10k + 5k – February 17, 2019 – Lelia Patterson Center – Fletcher NC
A very popular afternoon event in February. This event was once just a 5k, but was expanded to a 5k and 10k about seven or eight years ago.
FROM THE RACE ORGANIZERS
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.
