On July 28, the Running Bear 5K Run/Walk & ½ Mile Kids’ Run takes off for its ninth year. What makes a beautiful summer day even better? Spending it with family and friends who take the challenge. You can run or walk the 5K. Runners compete in 10 different age categories from 10 & under to 80+ with first and second place metals and prizes in each from Cherry Republic and Crystal River Outfitters and the Cyclery. In addition, we have the ½ Mile Kids’ Run for our younger runners.
