Polar/Conquer the Bear Directors Award!

Conquer the Bear symbolizes the very essence of the multisport and adventurous athlete. A challenge that begins in February, with a snowshoe race, resumes in June with high altitude mountain bike race, comes along in July with a grueling 20 km circumnavigation of Big Bear Lake on kayak, then resumes with the 30 km of Endure the Bear Trail run....this is no easy multisport challenge.

Polar, the world leader in Heart Rate Monitors is a new supporter of Open Air Big Bear, and is a perfect match for the athlete that is facing the the multiplicities of this year long challenge.

This year, the Polar /Conquer the Bear Director's Award goes to a male and female athlete that represents taking on the challenge with full heart and passion, to Conquer the Bear: Dave Lawrence and Cathleen Caulkins are this years winners....and take home beautiful monitors to help them prepare for 2012 challenges. Congrats!
