No plans this weekend? Don’t worry, Polar’s got you covered! 🐾❄️

Join Guiding Eyes and TrailHeads this Sunday, February 22, at Lake Waramaug for the 41st Annual Polar Bear Run! This scenic 7.8-mile loop around the lake is the perfect way to embrace winter. Walkers are welcome to start at 10:15 AM, and runners kick off at 11:00 AM.

Plus, we’ll have a special guest joining us… He’s got four legs, he’s incredibly handsome, and his name may or may not be Polar. 😉

You’ll have to come out and see for yourself!
