Bear Mountain Trail Run

The Bear Mountain Trail Race offers runners an immersive journey through the lush forests of Mission, BC, just minutes from Abbotsford. This challenging race features steep climbs and fast, technical descents along misty West Coast singletrack trails covered in moss and vibrant greenery. The course winds its way up to the summit of Bear Mountain before descending back into the forest on rolling terrain filled with roots and rocks.
Participants can choose between three distances: an 8K loop that reaches the mountain's peak, a 15K route for those seeking more elevation gain across Bear Mountain’s trail network, or a grueling 30K option covering two full loops. Aid stations are strategically placed along the longer routes at km markers where runners can refuel with Näak drink mix and gels, water, snacks like chips and pickles, fresh fruit such as melon slices and bananas, plus cookies and pretzels. Competitors must bring their own cups or bottles to stay true to the race’s cupless policy.
The event is not only a test of endurance but also supports local causes: Mission Search and Rescue and the Fraser Valley Mountain Bike Association. A medical crew will be on site for added safety, ensuring runners can focus fully on conquering Bear Mountain's challenging terrain.
