It promises to determine the true marathoner on this deceivingly challenging circuit. The Half Marathon and Battle the Bear race has moved to Saturday afternoon after the FR60 has completed so that all competitors will have less traffic on course.

Course Map & Description (.pdf)
Tire Sealant is recommended! Choose where to pass wisely as goat heads are prevalent. The fast 10-mile loop that encircles Bear Creek Lake Park features a taste of speed, with five short punishing climbs and rolling big ring singletrack. Neutral support feed zone at the end of each lap. The Start/Finish and Expo will be at Coyote Crossing. You may encounter other users wandering on course so please be aware and practice good sportsmanship so we can continue this tradition.
Pit Zone:
There will be an aid station every 10 miles when you lap through stocked with Hammer Gels, fruit, cookies, bagels, and coolers of Hammer Heed and water. In addition, there will be bottles ready to grab and go, so you can go light and go long! The course will lap through the finish area where you can set up tents and stage food and equipment.
