Park Ridge Health will host the 19th Annual Frostbite 10K, 5K Run and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk on Sunday, Feb. 20, starting at 2:30 p.m.

The races take place on a flat to gently rolling course of varying terrain and will begin at the Park Ridge Health campus and finish at the Lelia Patterson Center, located at the intersection of Howard Gap Rd. and Naples Rd. in Fletcher.

Water and sports drinks will be available to runners throughout the course and cookies and fruit will be available to everyone after the race. The race time of each runner will be recorded using computer chip devices.
