GREAT day, GREAT course, GREAT participants and GREAT Fazoli's food! Over 1600 runners and walkers participated in the 2005 St. Vincent's Sports Medicine Polar Bear Run & Walk -- which is the second event of KLA's Step Up to the Mini & Beyond Series. This is the third year for this particular course in the 23 year history of the event. In the run, the top three males broke 24 minutes and the fourth male ran 24:08. Sub 5-minute miles went to the top 9 finishers. The record is 23:25 held by Jim Jurcevich in 2003. In the women's race the top three ran under 27:30 and the fourth and fifth finishing under 28 minutes! First female finisher, Erin Nehus of Indianapolis ran 27:00 flat and broke the course record of 27:23 set in 2003. The Men's Masters was won by Tim Mylin, Carmel at 25:32 and Jean Lampert, Indianapolis at 32:22. |  | ||||

Huge thanks to all the volunteers, Indianapolis police officers, Indiana War Memorial police and the Department of Transportation for their support.
