Your survival time would depend on how far apart you and the bear are, how's fast you can run, and how angry or hungry the bear is.

Polar bears hunt even when not hungry because of the general scarcity of food in their environment

Polar bears can reach 25 mph, I don't see myself outrunning that.

Don't run, you'll just die tired.
