BEDROCK VALLEY TRAIL RUNS

The Bedrock Valley Trail Runs is a NEW trail running experience you don't want to miss. We offer something for the whole family to enjoy. Choose from the beautiful Bedrock Valley Trail Marathon, Trail Half Marathon, 15k, 5k, Stroller 5k and bring the kids for the the 1 Mile Kid's Fun Run around Diamond Valley Lake. This is truly a historic run in an ancient place. This area's heritage begins during the Ice Age where the most concentrated amount of Mastodons once roam the earth. The remains of hundreds of Mastodons and other prehistoric dinosaurs were discovered in the bedrock of where the lake now rests.

TRAIL MARATHON is a great introduction into trail marathons. A relatively flat loop around the lake ending with some beautiful single track with small climbs. Ideal for all running levels.

TRAIL HALF MARATHON is a beautiful out and back section along the lake bed and perfect for accomplishing your first half marathon.

15K course challenges the runner with a little of everything: flat, fast, climbing, descending on the famous Wildflower single track trail.

10K is a fast out and back with views of the lake.

STAMPEDE 5K is a fast and flat out and back. Great for a fast run or hike.

SOARING 5K is a great distance through the stunning Wildflower Trails. Great for a quick run or hike. This course does take you up and down the trails finishing along the shoreline.

STROLLER TRAIL 5k our first specific stroller only 5k is a beautiful flat 3.1 miles out and back. Enjoy with the little ones.

KID'S 1 MILE FUN RUN is open to children 10 and younger. This is a non-timed run. All kids receive a finisher’s medal and other goodies.

GRAVEL RIDE is the first Gravel Bike race that takes you around the Lake. Ride Gravel/Mountain/E-Bike

We are a CUPLESS race series. Please make sure to bring some form of hydration vessel to carry hydration for your event. There will not be cups provided at aid stations.

Big Bear is the most legendary mountain resort in Southern California, and has long been a favorite training ground for some of the country’s top runners.

You’ll be following in their footsteps as you explore the picturesque trails of this venue, featuring buttery singletrack winding through high altitude pine forest, plus some gnarly, technical climbs and descents. You’ll experience wide views of the Southern Sierra, wildlife, wildflowers, and did we mention the altitude?

This weekend also features Spartan Obstacle Course Races.
