About the Bluffsview Bear Run
This is an elementary school cross country meet held on a school campus, open to kids from kindergarten through sixth grade, with a separate race for parents, teachers, coaches, and alumni. The distances are short and matched to age, and the whole evening moves through waves of races with awards between them. Registration is free.
Bibs can be picked up the evening before at a local running store in Lewis Center, or on the day of the event starting in the afternoon. Parking is in the school lots, with overflow on the nearby side streets.
