(All subject to further research and possible revision.) Ace archivist 1964-2003- Mr. Harry Nolan...thanks, Harry!! Take note: Various courses have been used over the years, including the boardwalk, Lake Avenue, Kingsley Avenue and Ocean Avenue routes. In 1982, the race was held indoors at Convention Hall. In 1988, course was 9 miles. In 2000, race was reduced to 5 miles due to snow-covered roads. To all past Polar Bear walkers - please send us your memories...we are compiling the archives and would appreciate your reminiscences of past years...

1st long distance race. Just wanted to finish. 5 Km loops and old course at Fort Monmouth, NJ.

Laps: 1) 34:15 2) 33:52 3) 33:20 4) 34:03 5) 33:25 6) 34:14 7) 33:13 8) 36:03 Average: 34:04 and 10:57 pace.

I trained with Bill Norton who talked me into doing this race and gave me some great advice that helped me finish the race. Some advice I didn't take like the pre race meal of Beer and Muttin chops. I could barely walk the next day and on Bill's gret advice forced myself out for a walk. This does help in the recovery.
