Kodiak Ultra Marathons
The HOKA Kodiak Ultra Marathons by UTMB take place in Big Bear Lake, California, a rustic mountain town near Los Angeles. This two-day festival features five race distances ranging from 10K to 100 miles, offering runners a challenging high-altitude experience with elevation gains up to 4100 meters. Courses showcase stunning views of Big Bear Lake and diverse landscapes including high desert, subalpine, and semi-arid climates.
The event atmosphere is festive, with local food, music, and a parade in downtown Big Bear Lake. As a UTMB World Series Americas Major, it offers double points and serves as a qualifier for both the UTMB World Series Finals and the Western States Endurance Run.
