Bear Brook Trail Marathon

We are excited to once again share the absolute beauty of Bear Brook State park and all the trails it has to offer. From beautiful single track, to steep uphills, and of course, the magnificent blueberry fields, Bear Brook has so so much to offer no matter which of the races you choose.

We will once again offer three outstanding races - a 10k following "Mindy's Loop" - and of course, the Half Marathon and Marathon routes. We will be continuing with the courses we began using in 2022 - Marathon runners will be running the Half Marathon course twice. Maps will be available the day of the race and will be posted prior to our Facebook page.

All races will have well stocked aid stations with a variety of different food items, water and Tailwind (powder for you to mix with water).

Please note that this is a NO CUP race - we do not supply cups at the aid stations. None. You will need to supply your own water bottles/soft flasks, etc to re-fill along the course. We will not have anything for you to put water in at the aid stations. This is to keep all littering in the park to an absolute minimum and ensure that we can continue to work with the State in obtaining this permit.

Please note we do not allow pets to run during the race with runners and crews/pacers are not allowed.

NEW FOR 2024

New in 2024 - The Bear Brook Trail Races will be a GPX only event. There will be minimal to no course markings. Entrants will be required to download the course GPX and utilize that to navigate their way along the course. The GPX will be made available in advance of the Event and will be sent to all entrants. Please contact us directly if you have any questions. Thank you!
