About the race
The Bear Chase Race Endurance Festival occurs at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, Colorado, offering 100K, 50 Mile, 50K, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K (plus the Baby Bear 10K). The mostly dirt, single-track course is described as fast by trail/ultra standards and rewards sweeping mountain views with challenging yet approachable terrain. Elevation gains span from gentle climbs on the 10K to about 4,336 feet for the 100K, with a max near 5,798 feet.
The event features silicone navigation bracelets, full aid stations, and park support; proceeds benefit the park and partner charities. It’s beginner-friendly for first-time trail and ultrarunners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
