Polar Bear Run 2027
The Polar Bear Run on January 30, 2027 takes place in the Fergus and Elora area along the Grand River and offers trail racing and walking on snow‑covered routes. The event includes multiple distances:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half marathon (21.1 km)
Course surfaces and conditions described for the event include packed snow trails, forest paths, icy sections, and winding, snow-dusted singletrack. Organizers note warming stations along the route.
Included with entry are a T-shirt, chip timing for results, a finisher medal, and post-event beverages such as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The event also lists prizes, snacks, and an award ceremony that provides medals for each participant and a "The Polar Bear" trophy for the fastest male and female.
The event is a fundraiser for Servant's Heart Ministry with a stated fundraising goal of CA$35,000 to purchase a dedicated food delivery truck. All proceeds are listed as going to that ministry.
