About the Event

Charge into a winter adventure at the Polar Bear Run on January 24, 2026, where you can run or walk the stunning snow-covered trails of Fergus and Elora along the Grand River. Choose your challenge with a rugged 10k gallop, a brisk 5k charge, or a scenic 3k stroll through a true winter wonderland, perfect for the whole family. Your participation directly supports Grace Christian Fellowship’s Mission Immersion Program, empowering youth to become global citizens through hands-on missions, including future work with the Ngäbe people in Panama.

Bundle up and enjoy a memorable day that includes a themed T-shirt (guaranteed for registrations before January 11th), a custom finisher medal, and a lively post-race ceremony with coffee, snacks, and creative activities. Whether you’re chasing “The Polar Trophy” as the fastest male or female or simply enjoying the crisp winter air with loved ones, this event blends fitness, family fun, and meaningful impact into one unforgettable winter morning.
