The Baby Bear — a lovably quirky 10K with a story behind its exact distance
Other trail races within 31 miles
Known affectionately as the 'Baby Bear 10K,' this 6.1-mile Blue Course loop through Bear Creek Lake Park was intentionally cut one-tenth of a mile short — so the 50K distance doesn't run long or short. A fun piece of race history baked into a fast, mostly-singletrack course that's ideal as a first trail race or a family-friendly Sunday morning run.
