YMCA Frostbite 5K/10K - Hendersonville, TN

YMCA Frostbite 5K/10K - Hendersonville, TN offers three distances in Hendersonville, Tennessee, on December 19, 2026. The Family 1 Mile Fun Run, for ages 12 and under, opens the morning at 8:30 a.m., the Frostbite 10K (6.2 miles) follows at 8:45 a.m., and the Frostbite 5K (3.1 miles) closes the schedule at 9:00 a.m. The staggered starts keep the three fields from stacking up on each other.

The 10K is the interesting choice here. It is long enough that you cannot fake it, but short enough to slot into a winter base phase without derailing anything. Aim for a pace you could hold for 45 minutes to an hour, hold it honestly through halfway, and press from four miles in. Eight weeks of running four days a week, one of them a longer easy run, is a solid build.
