Half Marathon (21 km) Closed
Online registration closed-
Starting from the main parking lot, you will go up a gradual climb for the first few kilometers, then reach the fun descents and rolling trails leading up to a steeper climb and beautiful lookout of the surrounding mountain ranges. From here, you are hitting some flowy downhill and smooth trails until the next climb. You'll have a chance to run on some gravel FSR roads for a little relief from the climbs and experience a true mix of literally all-terrain styles and trails in this race. Steep single-track descents, runnable climbs mixed with steep climbs, multiple areas with beautiful views from the FSR, and some fun features along the way!

This 12 km is the perfect course for those who want to see a little more of the gorgeous Bear Mountain trails. This course offers a gradual climb to start the day and get you warm, leading to a view point you won't want to miss! From here, you will be on winding single track connecting various trails that showcase the amazing variety of terrain on these mountains. You will run through mossy forests, smooth and flowy trails, technical and mixed descents, and of course a little more elevation before you reach the final descent. The final 2 kilometres tour you down one of the most fun and rolling downhills of the day and bring you right to the finish line!

With a few kilometers of trails in the mossy forest you will hit your final descent of smooth winding downhill trails that take you right back to where you started at the main parking lot for all of the finish line celebrations!
