This post is intended to help communicate our proposed mail out and pick up schedule for finishers t-shirts and medals.

I appreciate your patience and I hope it will feel worth the wait when you do receive your medal make with love. That said, some medals turned out perfectly, while some medals look more like a blob. It's the way it goes and this year, of all years, I am learning to cherish the blobs even more. xo Please read through ALL of this information carefully.

Hi everyone! My son, Carter and I ran the 25k Nimble Bear race today to show our support for the Nimble Bear community and those of you doing the No Bear, Yes Bear Challenge. (it was also his first ever 25k which was really special). We took a little video for inspiration and to go over the challenge.

The challenge is a fun virtual run set up for anyone who registered for the 2020 Nimble Bear 50km, 25km or 10km trail race originally scheduled for April 25th. The challenge encourages you to try to run the race distance you signed up for, however it's more important to u that you're staying connected with your goals and healthy right now - therefore if you run between 10k & 50k you qualify for prizes. - The timeframe to log your run is between April 14th & April 28th. - We will announce the prize draw on April 29th. HOW DO I JOIN? We have a Facebook page called No Bear, Yes Bear Accountability Challenge that you can join if you're on FB. It's a community space to share your training and post pictures of your final run. You don't have to be on FB to participate though. HOW DO I SUBMIT MY RUN? - We have set up a google doc where you can add your name, the distance you were signed up for and the distance you ran for the challenge. - You're also welcome to also post a photo, link to your strava move or other creative ways to share your run with your personal social media sites or on the private group Facebook page with the #nobearyesbear - You can also email me the stats from your run if you don't want to post them. - Click HERE to sign up on the google doc.
