The Experience

Our most popular event of 2018 and has now become one of our Signature Races, which means we were able to order more medals! This does not have a year on the medal or ribbon, so complete it anytime! We love to celebrate our favorite bear with our Be Brave 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, 13.1, 26.2.  The medal has our favorite quote from A.A. Milne, “Promise me you’ll always remember, you’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”   We will be donating at least 15% of every registration to charity. What: This is a 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, 13.1, 26.2  virtual run (or walk) to celebrate being BRAVE!  You choose which distance you want to complete! *Medals and bibs start shipping out March 1, 2026. After that they will ship out within 2 to 5 days of signing up When: Complete your race any time in 2026!  Sign up before the medals sell out! Where:  You choose the course and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us). Why:  Because this is our way of celebrating our favorite bear and being BRAVE! Cost:  The price is $25 and that includes your medal, bib and at least 15% of every entry will be donated to charity.  *Charity Disclaimer: We are not a nonprofit organization — we simply believe in supporting great causes whenever we can.
