Bearfest 5K &Half Marathon

The rolling course for the Bearfest race is set in beautiful, scenic Wrangell along the Inside Passage of Alaska, complete with aid stations and support staff. The course runs mostly on cement sidewalk and pavement roads. A large section is along the waterfront where you may see whales, seals, and certainly eagles. Make a vacation out of it to enjoy the festivities and spend a few days seeing the spectacular sights that define Alaska! Please contact us with any questions at fun@alaskabearfest.org. There will be a pre-race meeting/pasta feed the night before (Saturday, August 8th). Check out the Alaska Bearfest Facebook page for updates and posted schedules closer to the event. Participation medals are awarded to all half and full marathon runners. The 5K course is a loop, the half marathon is a modified out and back. Mile markers and turnaround points will be labled for each event. Aide stations will be set up to provide snacks, Gatorade, and water at mile 2, 4, 6, 8,10 Find the course maps & elevations here: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/map/map-1dba302--19?u=i
