The Polar Bear Run is a great day of leisurely touring the Georgia Back Roads and Countryside with cars of all ages from vintage to custom rods to today's latest model.  The PBR always has a destination such as a military museum, state park, quaint restaurant or scenic area.  We've done the Warner Robins Aviation Museum, the Infantry Museum at Ft. Benning, Barnsley Gardens, and Watkins Mill State Park, just to name a few. 

Just follow the crowd or follow your route sheet.  It's a great day of car enthusiasts of all sizes, shapes and ages. 

Some examples:







There are a couple of roadsters in the group and yes, roadsters show up every year and make the run, irregardless of the weather.  True Polar Bears.
