What Is The Bear?

The Bear is a short uphill benchmark run, not a formal meet. Runners get a bib, warm up together, jog about 2K to the start, then race 1.17 miles uphill with 308 ft of gain. Times count toward the all-time list, and registration is used for bibs, wave placement, and day-of contact information.

Parents should plan on meeting at the turf field at 7:15 AM, a wave start based on the mile/1600 estimate, a finish at the top by the water tower, a quick group meeting there, and then a 15-20 minute run back down. Kids should plan for at least a 3-mile round trip.

One runner per form. Use the same team name your coach will recognize.

Enter a current mile/1600 estimate for wave placement.

Slower runners go first. Faster runners go later so they can warm up longer.

No payment is required. The optional Venmo note is at the very bottom before submit.

Athlete Registration

One runner per form. Grades 1-12, siblings, adults, coaches, alumni, and friends are welcome. Please only register the same runner once per team.

Logistics Acknowledgment

I understand runners and families should park carefully on the road, carpool if possible, and meet on the turf field.I understand everyone must stay off the pavilion and no one is allowed in the water.I understand runners finish at the top by the water tower, have a group meeting there, and then run back down together before snacks.Anything else we should know?

Optional Venmo support. No payment is required. This just helps cover bibs and the timing system.

OtherVenmo: Bears TC

Last Year's Meet-Up

We will meet on the turf at 7:15 AM before runners jog over to the start. Please carpool if you can.

How It Works

Registration covers bibs, wave placement, timing, and day-of contact information.

Race morning is simple: check in on the turf, jog to the start, race uphill, meet at the water tower, then run back down together for snacks.

Results will be posted after the run, and the all-time list will be updated. If a watch or Strava file shows a different time, send a correction by email.

Grades 1-12 can run. Siblings, adults, coaches, alumni, and friends are welcome too.

Questions

Please meet at the turf field at 7:15 AM. Kids need time to get a bib, do drills, and jog the 2K over to the start before the first wave. With the race and the run back down, they should plan for at least a 3-mile round trip. Faster high school kids can use the later wave time for a longer warm-up.

Parking And Site Rules

Park carefully on the road and carpool if possible.
Meet on the turf field.
Stay off the pavilion.
No one goes in the water.
Keep the neighborhood roads clear and be cautious around traffic.
Bathroom situation is not great at the meet spot. Please use the bathroom before you get there. If you need one, the Baptist Road trailhead is about a mile down the road, or use one of the gas stations on the way up.

Shoes, Course, And After

The trail is kind of like Monument Valley Park: mostly runnable single track with a couple hillier or rougher spots. Race shoes are fine if you feel good in them. Wear what you can run confidently in on light trail.

The race finishes at the top by the water tower, not back at the turf field. Parents should not expect kids immediately at the finish. After everyone finishes, we will have a quick group meeting at the top, then runners will run back down together. Plan on 15-20 minutes from the finish back down before chocolate milk/snacks.

Parents should not expect runners back at the turf field until around 9:00 AM.

Results And Corrections

Official results will be posted after the run, and the all-time list will be updated. Last year had 127 finishers from 6 local running programs. If a watch or Strava file shows a different time, send a correction by email.

Bears Pace Calculator

After the run, you can enter your Bear time in the Bears TC pace calculator to get an estimate of training paces, race conversions, and altitude-adjusted efforts. You can also use it before registration if you need a better mile/1600 estimate for this form.

Open Pace Calculator

Race Day Schedule

Kids need to account for the 2K jog from the turf field to the start. We use the estimated mile/1600m time from registration to make the waves: slower and younger runners generally go first, faster runners go last, and many high school boys can use the later wave for a longer warm-up and drills. Parents should not expect runners back at the turf field until around 9:00 AM.

Wave timing is spaced out
