Hi!
A littel bit late for this year winter event but its worth to know i think.
FIrst i tell you how i control my toon when i make a winter race for the Q Marks.
I use W for run(go) forward and use the mouse to change direction. ( Press right button)
Press shift to sprint.
So at the start aim your toon to the tree far behind and when the breen says go press and hold w and press once the shift key to start sprinting.
Pass the tree left side change the direction with the mouse and pressed right button then doubble press W so your toon maks a rol in this direction.
The toon stopps for a moment but dont worry press and hold W press shift key once to start sprint again until the next corner the game starts from new.
Change direction (mouse + pressed right button) doubble W for the roll , W hold down short shiftkey press to start sprint and so on.
Other strategie is to sprint to a corner then jump (use space key). Importen is that before your toon lands on his, her, it feed release the W key.
the toon will stop immediately (if you still press W your toon will slide)
change direction (mouse + reight button) press hold W and a short press of shift so you sprint to the next corner there the again and so on ....
I think frosted boots are not faster or work when you run for Q Marks. For Fast and flurrios the do.
the Untin exo armor gives you a runspeed increase if you make a roll and that works when you run for Q Marks and also for fast and flurrios.
hope links to sto wiki are ok

For info the doubble klick for the roll can be swithed on or off in the groundsettings. so check this if it dosent work!!! (Options - Controls - check Region should ground [you have only change this if you make this in space] - Tap momvent direction twice to roll must be on to make a roll)
