Volunteers

Volunteers race for free at this or a future race. Help is needed at registration, parking, aid station, and finish line. Contact me if interested.

Kids 1k

The same opening loop as the 5k. Adults and older siblings can accompany the kids; you don't need to register. All kids will receive a stuffy at the finish. There will be a timing clock, but the race won't be officially timed like the other races. I used to offer this for free, but the park is charging me for each participant, so I need to charge a fee to cover my costs.

    The Bear Chase Trail Race

    NOTE: This is a two day race and the ultras are held on Saturday: 100K, 50 Mile, and 50K while the short distances are held on Sunday: Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K. The Bear Chase Race Endurance Festival is a 100k, 50 mile, 50k, Half Marathon and the Baby Bear 10k Trail Race at beautiful Bear Creek Lake Park, in Lakewood, CO. An excellent race for first time ultramarathoners and trail runners, runners will experience a variety of challenging terrain and sweeping panoramic views throughout the race. The course is pretty fast (by trail/ultra standards), and not overly technical. 95% of the race course is on dirt and single track trails. Approximate elevation gain: Baby Bear 10km = 230 ft. Half Marathon = 900 ft. 50km = 1,930 ft. 50 Mile = 3,400 ft. 100km = 4,250 ft. A portion of the proceeds of the race benefit the open spaces and trails of Lakewood, and our partner charities.
