The White Bear Lake Lions Club has held the Bear Water Run event annually to raise funds that support the Club’s long-standing work where proceeds are returned to the White Bear Lake community.

Bear Water Run was started in 2000 after the Lions Club was searching for new fundraising ideas. At the time, some club members were runners, so the Lions Club developed a running race event to take advantage of the beautiful lake which is central to the community. Bear Water Run has turned into the most profitable event the club performs. Many runners share that Bear Water Run is their favorite race of the year.

Bear Water Run offers:

• Champion Chip Race Results
• USATF Certified Course
• Water/Gatorade stops every two miles
• Abundance of food during & at end of race
• Moisture wicking race shirt
• Race medals for all finishers
