Black Bear Trail Races

The Black Bear Trail Races, hosted by White Mountain Endurance, take place in scenic Waterville Valley, New Hampshire. This trail running event offers multiple distances: a challenging 50K ultra with 7,700 feet of elevation gain around iconic 4,000-foot peaks, a classic 23K course through the oldest maintained trail network in the U.S., a 4-mile scenic run through White Mountain forests and streams with no road, and a 1-mile Bear Cub Fun Run for families. All races start and finish near Waterville Valley Town Square, featuring stunning mountain views, finisher medals, post-race snacks, and a vibrant mountain running atmosphere.

The event emphasizes environmental responsibility with a cupless format and mandatory gear for the ultra. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
