Waist deep start; Depth of swim never exceeds more than 7-8 feet and the water is crystal clear (excellent for beginners!) Water temperatures will be in the upper 60's, so wetsuits are highly recommended. Course will be guarded with personal watercraft and boats, and swim will be separated in groups no larger than 100 swimmers to ensure your safety. See webpage for details.

Bike

Sprint: 12.4 miles, Olympic: 24.8 miles, Half: 56 miles. The bike course is a gorgeous course with rolling hills and some flats that travels along the east shores of the lake. This course is challenging but forgiving and is likely to give you PR times. Spectacular scenery awaits you! See the event webpage for course map and details.

Run

Sprint: 5k, Olympic 10k, Half 13.1 Miles. The run course is through the campground on paved surfaces and along an untraveled dirt road surrounded with vegetation, making for a very unique, spectator/family friendly course.

State Park Fees

The Bear Lake State Park charges a $8 entrance fee to enter the park. We have arranged for all volunteers to enter the park for free on race day. We recommend everyone to carpool to avoid the extra fee or go with a volunteer. Parking is limited as well. We will pre-charge the $8 fee at packet pickup if you choose.

Ultra Full Distance Postponded until 2013

We were excited to announce the Full Distance for 2012 but knew we were late in starting registrations for such a distance based on lack of time for participants to train. Due to lack of registrations we will postpone this race until 2013 and give one of two options to registered 2012 participants. One full refund. Two credit towards Half Distance the same day and credit towards the 2013 Full Distance.

Additional Information

The Bear Lake State Park charges a $8 park entrance fee to enter the park. This fee is waved if you have a volunteer in the car.
