About the race
The Angry Bear Holiday Run is a community event in Massillon, Ohio that benefits the Jackson High School baseball program. It takes place on December 5 at Jackson High School and combines timed and untimed running with family-focused holiday activities. The event offers multiple distances: - 1 Mile Fun Run for ages 10 and under; mini medal or snowflake ribbon. - 5K through decorated parks with inflatables; awards for top finishers and age groups. Activities listed for the event include warm drinks, holiday music, snowball games, a visit from Santa, music with emcee commentary, and a costume contest judged in three categories: Best Winter Outfit, Funniest, and Most Festive. All participants receive a medal, while the 1 mile finishers receive a mini medal or snowflake ribbon.
Finish-line support includes water and snacks such as bananas and energy bars. Entry fees vary by registration date with published tiers from $10 up to $45, and a general cost range of $20 to $45 on race day. Special pricing is noted for students 18 and under and for family entries (four family members for $100). Registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable.
