Experience the allure of Louisville’s scenic parks during the Polar Bear Grand Prix Snowman Shuffle 4 Miler. This thrilling race, part of the Run the 502 series, invites runners to explore Cherokee Park's natural beauty through a four-mile loop that starts at Rugby Field and follows the winding path along Beargrass Creek. The route then takes you around Big Rock Park before descending into an exhilarating downhill finish. Participants can enjoy more than just scenic views; they will also receive a gender-specific long-sleeve shirt, a finisher medal featuring charms from all three races in the series, and free race photography. The event offers age group awards for various categories including overall winners, masters, and grand masters. Team spirit is encouraged with the Polar Bear Grand Prix Team Challenge, open to teams of 3 to 5 members across male, female, or coed divisions. For those looking to fully commit, there's no additional fee required to join this team challenge. The fastest three runners from each team will be scored; in the Coed division, at least one woman must contribute to the score. A special award awaits any team that secures first place across all three races within their category. Additionally, you have the opportunity to support local conservation efforts by participating with a charity partner, The Olmsted Parks Conservancy. Donate or raise funds for this cause and enjoy your race entry fee waived if you reach $150 in contributions! Whether you're running solo or as part of a team, get ready for an unforgettable run through Louisville's best parks.
