Polar-Conquer the Bear Director’s Award

Conquer the Bear symbolizes the very essence of the multisport and adventurous athlete. A challenge that begins in February, with a snowshoe race, resumes in June with high altitude mountain bike race, comes along in July with a grueling 20 km circumnavigation of Big Bear Lake on kayak, then resumes with the 30 km of Endure the BearTrail run….this is no easy multisport challenge.

Polar, the world leader in Heart Rate Monitors in a new supporter of Open Air Big Bear, and is a perfect match for the athlete that is facing the the multiplicities of this year long challenge.

This year, the

Director's Award Winners Dave Lawrence and Cathleen Caulkins, with event directors Karen Lundgren and Paul Romero

Athletes/Volunteers….thanks can not do it justice…but that was one heck of a ride. Hope recovery is going well. We were BEAT, as we left hours after the event, and participated in Ironman 70.3 Worlds in Las Vegas, as water safety….that was a blast.  Those people put on one hell of an event.  We’re  back in business today!!

While we have your attention….mark your calender now…for SNOW SHOE THE BEAR 5km and 10km. Never snow shoe’d?  Have no worries, we have an expression…if you can walk, you can snow shoe. It’s incredibly simple, and an absolute blast…and of course, it’s the first event of the Conquer the Bear (or Cub, or the new Grizzly). Stay tuned for news!

…and HERE WE GO…..

The course is set. The racers are on site. Volunteers are pouring in…..and the fun is about to begin. Go fast, take chances. See you in the Village.
