We've added a charity partner to all three races of the Polar Bear Grand Prix, The Olmsted Parks Conservancy!
Louisville has the greatest parks system in the country and we all enjoy running and walking in them. Help maintain their beauty by donating and/or fundraising! It's easy and fun and if you raise $250 or more, your registration is FREE! More details on how to fundraise or the option to make a donation when you register.
Starting this month, we will hold a drawing for everyone registered for one or all three races in the Polar Bear Grand Prix and made a donation or signed up to raise funds for the t-shirt of your choice for you to rep your favorite Olmsted park.
The Polar Bear Grand Prix Team Challenge for all three races!
The Polar Bear Grand Prix Team Challenge is open to any 3 to 5 person teams in three divisions: Male, Female, or Coed. Fastest three on each team are scored, the Coed team must score one woman. Your team can choose to participate in any individual or all three Polar Bear Grand Prix races. There will be a Team Challenge Polar Bear Grand Prix Award for any team that wins all three races in their division. You will not only compete for team awards; each team member is also eligible for an individual time and awards! There is no additional fee to participate in the Polar Bear Grand Prix Team Challenge.
We’ve added more fun to the Reindeer Romp, A COSTUME CONTEST! Let’s see your best Christmas fun. We’ll have free finisher photography at the in-person event and if you do the virtual run, send us your costumed photo and we’ll judge from there and send you a custom frame for your photo.
