The Run will take place Sunday, February 27th at 11 am.

The Lake Waramaug Polar Bear Run is the oldest winter race in the State. The 7.6 mile Run loops around beautiful, glacial Lake Waramaug and passes through three towns: Kent, Warren, and Washington.

All proceeds from the Run benefit Guiding Eyes for the Blind. This organization raises and trains guide dogs to partner with blind and visually impaired people. Their facilities in Yorktown Heights and Patterson, NY train and partner more than 160 guide dogs each year. All services are offered free of charge to those in need. At the 2019 and 2020 races, runners were greeted by a group of future guide dogs and their handlers who came to raise awareness about Guiding Eyes and provide support for the Run. Guiding Eyes for the Blind has been the Run’s charitable beneficiary for the past 4 years during which time the Run has raised over $12,000 for the organization.

The Run is organized by TrailHeads, a Kent based business that designs and markets hats, gloves, headbands and related accessories for runners and outdoor enthusiasts.

The Run is sponsored by several local businesses including Kent Wine & Spirit and Hopkins Vineyard. The Kent Lions Club plays a key role by providing financial support as well as volunteers.
