Angry Bear Holiday Fun Run and 5K

🎉 Welcome to the Angry Bear Holiday Fun Run & 5K

Lace up for a cause at the Angry Bear Fun Run & 5K!

Join us for a festive, family-friendly afternoon and evening packed with winter cheer—all in support of the Jackson High School Baseball team. From warm drinks and holiday music to snowball games and a visit from Santa, there’s something for everyone. Kids can enjoy the 1-mile Fun Run and winter-themed activities, while runners and walkers alike take on the scenic 5K through the parks with decorations and inflatable. Don your most festive gear for a chance to win costume prizes, then gather around the fire pits for s’mores, raffle prizes, and celebration. It’s more than a race—it’s a winter celebration with purpose!
