Bear Lake Ultra

Bear Lake Ultra is a 24 hour running event held on October 3–4, 2026 at Bear Lake Camp, 3409 5 Lakes Rd, Lapeer, MI 48446, United States. The course is a roughly 3.1 mile loop that runs around the camp over rolling hills. Surfaces include single-track trails, wider trail sections, grass and several small bridge crossings. Participants may complete as many loops as they wish during the 24 hour period and may stop and resume within that time.

The event is a chipped, cupless race with the main aid station located at the start and finish. The aid station is described as fully stocked with a wide variety of food and drink items, including sandwiches, soup, fruit, baked goods, snacks and drinks. Heated indoor bathrooms with showers are available at the aid station. Pacers are allowed after 50 miles or after dark.

Registration details in the event materials include registration opening 12/5/2025 and closing 12/15/2025 with a registration fee of $96.00. Registration includes one item donated at packet pick up (gloves or mittens, a winter hat, or a scarf), a hooded sweatshirt if registered by 9/1/26 to guarantee size, Friday night dinner at packet pick up, camping for the weekend (no RVs), and a mystery gift.
