The Bowl Series is Back! 🐾
Originally created by Bill Kehoe in the ’90s, the Polar Cats Winter Race Series returns for another fun, low-frills, low-cost winter running season around Rochester!
Each race has its own “Bowl” theme — and you can run one or all four!
New Year, same you! Let’s celebrate (or recommit to) those New Year’s resolutions with this fun, mid-winter run — and then indulge in some cookies at the finish line!
TSE in Gates – featuring a new course!
Polar Cats races are traditionally scheduled opposite Freezeroo Series weekends so you can enjoy both series! (One overlap this year.)
Freezeroo info: here.
