The Black Bear Half Marathon is back for its second year! This in-person half marathon winds through Hendersonville, NC (near Asheville) on Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021. There is also a Virtual Half Marathon running option for runners not able to attend the in-person event.
The Black Bear Half offers a scenic, mostly flat course along the Oklawaha Greenway. With less than 400 feet of elevation gain and a socially distanced setup, you won’t want to miss it! We'd like to give a huge thanks to our 2021 presenting sponsor: Hunter Subaru, for all that they do to help create this amazing event.
