Text reads: "Bear Creek Fire Department & First Responders. Bear Creek Kraut Run. September 6, 2025. Starts at 8:00 AM." The background is dark green, with a light blue color on one-third of the left-hand side to resemble a creek of water. There are green bear pawprints going up the side, from top to bottom. There are a pair of green, blue, and tan sneakers on the bottom left-hand of the picture. They have green lines coming out of the back, like whoosh, moving fast!

Every dollar raised from the Bear Creek Kraut Run will help the Bear Creek Fire Department and the Bear Creek First Responders purchase lifesaving equipment that isn’t covered by their regular budget. So when you run, walk, or roll across that finish line, you’re helping protect your community!

Join the Bear Creek Kraut Run and run like a bear’s chasing you… or like someone just opened a fresh jar of sauerkraut and you want to be first in line.
