COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – The Bear Creek Nature Center hosts its 11th annual Bear Run on November 8. All runners take the trails with full bear suits right before hibernation season.
Registration includes a bear suit that every runner gets to keep. It’s $65 for new adult runners and $25 for returners who already have a bear suit. For children, it’s $50 for new runners and $20 for returners. Dogs ($5) and stroller toddlers ($10) are also welcome and get a bear ear headband.
It’s a 5K and 3K fun run. Walkers and hobby joggers welcome!
The event also includes “Bear Yoga” and a costume contest for participants who want to embellish their bear suits.
The run is a fundraiser for the non-profit, “Friends of El-Paso County Nature Centers.” The organization raises money for the programming and facilities at the Bear Creek and Fountain Creek Nature Centers.
