Beware The Bear Trail Races

Beware The Bear Trail Races take place at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, CO on Sun, Oct 25, 2026. The start and finish are at Coyote Crossing near the park pavilion and shelter.

Distances offered:

• 5 km
• 15 km
• 5+15 Double
• Kids 1 km

Courses are almost entirely dirt on a mix of single track and double track. Terrain includes short, steep hills, rollers, and uneven surfaces. The 5 km course has about 300 feet of climbing; the 15 km course has about 800 feet of climbing and uses an opening loop plus two repeats of a bigger loop. The 5+15 Double consists of running the 5 km race, taking a short break, then running the 15 km course. All courses are well marked and carry a Won't-Get-Lost money back guarantee. The 15 km course has a cut-off of 1 hour 15 minutes at the end of the first big loop, approximately 4.7 miles.

Registration for the 5 km, 15 km, and Double includes running socks or a neck gaiter and a pancake breakfast. The Kids 1 km is not individually timed; a display clock will show times and every child receives a stuffed bear at the finish. Parents or older siblings may accompany children on the kids run without registering. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
