About
The Bear 100 runs point to point from the east bench of Logan, Utah over the Bear River Range to Fish Haven, Idaho, on the shore of Bear Lake. The course climbs 20,321 feet between 4,853 and 8,865 feet of elevation, 65 percent of it on single-track, timed for late September when the aspens and maples turn. Its motto is 36 hours of Indian summer, which is also the cutoff.
First run in 1999, the race starts at 6:00 a.m. at Hyrum Gibbons/Mount Logan Park on a Friday in late September. Entry moved to a lottery starting with the 2026 race, with qualifying standards, and a finish counts as a Western States 100 qualifier.
