COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

8 KM | 327M+ ELEVATION

This 8-kilometer course is the perfect route to test out the Bear Mountain trails! This course will start from the main parking lot and offer a gentle warm-up around the side of the lake before sending you on your main climb for the day! You will climb for just over 4 kilometers and get to see some lovely mountain views. We hit the Forest Service Road here for a bit before ducking into the trails and beginning our descent through the mossy forest. We cover some more ground on the FSR until we hit your second aid station and happy cheering station. Here, with just over 2 kilometers of smooth winding downhill trails, you will return to where you started at the main parking lot for all of the finish line celebrations! Expect two aid stations along the course.

15 KM | 770M+ ELEVATION

This 12-kilometer is the perfect course for those who want to see a little more of the gorgeous Bear Mountain trails and challenge themselves beyond the 8-kilometer distance. This course offers a gradual 4 km climb to start the day and get you warm, leading to a viewpoint you won't want to miss!

From here, you will be on a winding single track connecting various trails that showcase the amazing variety of terrain on this mountain then heading down to the first aid station where you will be able to refuel before heading back up. You will run through mossy forests, smooth and flowy trails, technical and mixed descents. The final 2 km will tour you down one of the most fun and rolling downhills of the day and bring you right to the finish line!

30 KM | 1,540M+ ELEVATION

Double the fun by making the 15km loop twice ✌🏼
