Polar Bear Prediction Run | Minneota Threads

January 3, 2026 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

You should begin your race exactly how many minutes and seconds you think it will take you to complete the race before 10am. *If you predict that you’ll run or walk a 30 minute 5K, you’ll want to begin the race promptly at 9:30am, to finish exactly at 10am. If the race will take you exactly 1 hour, you’ll want to leave right away at 9:00 AM. If you’re planning to run a 28:42 5K, you’ll want to start at 9:31:18. If you think you’re going to run a 10 minute 5K, you’re going to need to re-evaluate your time… or get an agent. Regardless, no stopping on the course, please. If you finish before 10am, your time is disqualified, and you just supported a local 5K. So, you’re still a huge winner!
When the clock strikes 10:00 AM, the first 10 people to cross the line will win a beautifully carved, highly sought after & festive Polar Bear, designed by Rochester’s very own Roger Heil!
