Polar Bear Run, Johnson Ferry Baptist Church

After so many events that didn’t happen in East Cobb in 2020, the organizers of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church’s Polar Bear run dropped some good news recently:

The 2021 Polar Bear Run WILL GO ON! Check out our safety precautions at www.polarbear-run.com, and make sure to get registered as live-runners are limited!

The event is scheduled for Jan. 30, and you can register online at www.itsyourrace.com, or download a registration form at www.polarbear-run.com.

Now through Jan. 8 the cost for the 5K & 2K is $30. From Jan. 8-17 it rises to  $35. Cub runs are $25. Phantom is $35.

The 5K is a qualifier for the Peachtree Road Race and gets underway at 8 a.m. The Cub Runs starts at 9 and the Cub 50-yard dash (ages 2-3 and indoors) starts at 9:15.

The Polar Bear Run, which started in 1989, will be in its 33rd year. The proceeds for the Polar Bear Run benefit students in the Johnson Ferry Academy’s high school music group who need financial assistance to attend an annual summer mission trip.
