We've added a charity partner to all three races of the Polar Bear Grand Prix, The Olmsted Parks Conservancy! 

Louisville has the greatest parks system in the country and we all enjoy running and walking in them.  Help maintain their beauty by donating and/or fundraising!  It's easy and fun and if you raise $250 or more, your registration is FREE!  More details on how to fundraise or the option to make a donation when you register. 

Ten different locations on the Scenic Loop. Report to assigned spot at 8:45 a.m. and pull barricades that are placed there across the street. Move barricades back to the side of the street at 10:00 a.m.

Lead the runners through the race course then circle back to the last runner and call back with their location.

Pass out water and encouragement to runners as they go by on the course.

Hand out finisher medals to participants at the finish.
