In 2010, Frost won the overall title in the Skyrunner World Series. The series included wins at the Table Mountain Challenge and the Three Peaks Race, among others.

In 2014, Frost won the Bear 100 Mile Endurance Run in Utah in her first attempt at the 100 mile distance. Having used the race as a qualifier for the Hardrock 100 in Colorado, she won Hardrock the following year.
