Our students can’t wait to cheer you on tomorrow!

The Polar Bear Run was started 38 years ago as a fundraiser for the Student Choir Johnson Ferry Baptist Church, and it still is today!

All our volunteers are high school choir students + their families raising money for their summer mission trip, to share their love for Jesus as they serve & sing.

Hopefully you’ll get to interact with some of our AMAZING students at this year’s race— if you do, be sure to ask them about where they’re headed this summer!

The Polar Bear is known for happening in “rain, snow or shine”, but obviously we are keeping a close eye on weather and have experts in the field sending us daily updates about weather predictions. As of now, we are anticipating Saturday morning being cold & wet, but the winter weather being more of an issue Saturday evening. Great news is...you stay stay warm & dry inside right up until racetime 🤗
