Frosty Half-Marathon

Frosty Half-Marathon is held in Raynham, in Bristol County, Massachusetts, on December 6, 2026. The single distance is the half marathon (13.1 miles), starting at 8:30 a.m. The well-marked route runs through protected natural ground, past lakes, ponds and forest paths, with several stretches along open water.

Mixed ground, wooded sections alternating with lake shores, adds a little technical relief to what is otherwise a straightforward 13.1, so build some of your long runs on similar surfaces instead of doing everything on pavement. Ten to twelve weeks with one long run a week is the usual preparation for the distance, and a couple of steady efforts at goal pace will sharpen it. The quiet setting, well away from city traffic, makes this a better race for running your own effort than for feeding off a crowd.
