Big Bear Marathon

A race to remember...

Join us and participate in the first Big Bear Marathon! HBT Events has partnered with the City of Big Bear to provide and bring a premier marathon to one of the most beautiful places in all of Southern California. Enjoy one of California's most beautiful resort communities! In addition to fresh air, a relaxed mountain environment and scenic course, they'll be fun and entertainment all weekend long.

With just over a week to the race, we're projecting to have just over 2,000 participants.

Course Descriptions

The course is truly one of the most scenic courses you will ever run. Starting and finishing in Big Bear's downtown village, the course runs around Big Bear Lake clockwise towards the golf course. With slight rolling hills, this is actually a relatively flat course, however it is at a higher altitude. Elevation ranges from 6,750 feet (the elevation of Big Bear Lake) to around 6,900 feet.

Marathon

Our first annual Big Bear Marathon, one of few marathons above 6,500, starts in the heart of the cozy Big Bear Village. The first 5 mile stretch takes runners to the famous Big Bear dam. Originally built in 1912, the dam created the largest man-made lake in the world at the time of its construction. As they stride across the concrete span they can get a peek of where they’ll be running later in their quest to finish this 26.2 mile jaunt - the beautiful North Shore of Big Bear Lake. On this side of the lake our competitors will be treated to a peaceful mountain run along the lake’s edge providing stunning scenery and crisp clean air, even if it is in smaller doses than if we were at sea level! Runners will go through the quiet community of Fawnskin before they make their way past the Discovery Center on the left and the Alpine Pedal Path on the right. The course continues east to Paradise Way, where a pair of right turns will send them back westwards, towards the lake through the homely residential roads of Big Bear City. The real fun begins as the route gets a bit steeper and climbs up Division Drive, up McAlister Road, and up and around Big Bear's 9-hole golf course. Grab a quick glimpse of the Moonridge Zoo and the base of the Bear Mountain Ski Resort, then after a short downhill section we’ll head left through a quiet neighborhood and take the runners along a rough road at the bottom of Snow Summit Ski Resort. Another short downhill section will take the participants through the lakeside neighborhood of Eagle Point and by Meadow Park where they’ll have just over a mile to go to the Village and the finish of the first ever Big Bear Marathon!

½ Marathon

We’ll be starting the “Half” at the intersection of Hwy-18 & Division road. Like the full marathon course, runners will head east on North Shore Dr. to Paradise Way, then head back towards the finish by climbing over Moonridge and skirting the bottom of both of Big Bear's ski resorts. A slightly faster-paced race than the Marathon, the “half” should make for some exciting racing and quick times even at 6,500 ft.

Bike Tour

Our Bike Tour starts in the heart of the Village and follows the same route as the Big Bear Marathon. Riders will have a few miles to warm up before they roll through the serpentine section of highway known as the Boulder Bay curves and across the dam. Pedaling along the North Shore side of the Lake as the sun slowly illuminates the morning will provide spectacular scenery and once in a lifetime photo opportunities. About 3 miles after crossing the dam riders will get a waters-edge view of Grout Bay and then roll through the tiny township of Fawnskin.

A few short hills will challenge riders along the way as they head to Paradise Road where they’ll make a right turn, which will bring them back across to the South Shore side of the Lake. The most difficult part of the ride will be the loop around the Golf Course and past the Moonridge Zoo, but cyclists that hang in there will be rewarded with a fun coast down to Cedar Road and then back along the edge of the Snow Summit Ski Resort. A quick lap through Eagle Point Estates and a short pedal past Meadow Park and the Bike Tour will end back in the Village where you can see the exciting finish of the Big Bear Marathon.

Remember that our Bike Tour IS NOT A RACE! Enjoy yourself and be safe. Cyclists will be riding on mountain roads and must respect other riders and be alert for road hazards, debris, pedestrians, and vehicle traffic. and debris. Regular rules of the road apply. Please be prepared to be self-sufficient, including tools for fixing flat tires, food, water, safety gear and other essentials. The runners who come behind you will need the water at the aid stations, so if you can bring your own by carrying it on your bike, they will appreciate your consideration.

5k

Our 5K course is a rather hilly out-and-back loop, which will make for a difficult, yet fast paced race that is very spectator-friendly. While the course starts slightly downhill, even the toughest competitors will be challenged the moment they pass under the Village arch and head up the leg-searing and lung-starving climb over “Red Ant Hill”. Runners will charge towards the dam until they reach the 2.5k mark and then make the mad dash back down Red Ant Hill toward the Village and the highly anticipated finish. Sprint races are extremely tough at elevation and this should be a hotly contested battle to see who has the quickest legs and best lungs at 6,700 ft.

Kids Run

If they're not already signed up, your kids can play too in our We’re designing a special Kid’s Run course that should be a kilometer of fun using the streets through and around the Village. We didn’t want to leave out the little ones so we’re letting them run in a fun, spectator friendly arena made just for them. Moms and Dads should have their cameras ready to capture shots of their sons and daughters running in the first Annual Big Bear Marathon Kids Run.

Hall to Give Friday's Keynote Presentation

Big Bear is so lucky to have the Hall family among us. Ryan, who placed 10th in the Olympic marathon and holds the fastest time for an American-born runner, grew up running and training in the streets and hills of Big Bear.

The Hall family is very close. Mickey, Ryan's dad, was his coach throughout junior high and high school. He is a role model for Ryan and for all of Big Bear, and he will be sharing some of his wisdom and inspiration with us on Friday night.

So after you register, before you head out to dinner, stick around for Mickey's presentation at 5:00pm at the Snow Summit Expo venue. You'll be glad you did!

Local Saturday Evening Attractions

So the show is over, the race is all packed up, and you're still not tired? Wow. Way to go! Well, you won't have to try hard to find entertainment in Big Bear. There's going to be a bustle around town after the race, and lots of story-telling and good times.

If you can find an open seat, there's always a party and live music at B's Backyard BBQ. Their lakeside location is a great spot to socialize and soak in the beauty of a Big Bear sunset.

Or, you can climb on board with the Big Bear Pirate Ship, which sails a loop from Holloway's Marina to Lagonita Lodge and to the party at B's BBQ. You can board their Cocktail Cruise at any location on the rounds, but the only set departure time is from Holloway's Marina at 6:00p.m.

Another fun spot for food and spirits is Big Bear Mountain Brewery. If you run the full marathon, you'll pass them on the right just before mile one. They brew fresh beer on premises, and it's the best around!

El Jacalito, a locals' favorite in the heart of the Village, and Hacienda Grill, near Snow Summit, both host lively atmospheres and great Mexican food.

Peppercorn Grille is a casual classy restaurant with an intimate setting. They're located next to the start/finish line in the village and have reliably good steak, fish and salads, amongst other choices.

Bowling Barn is where it's at if you've brought the family. With glow bowling, a sports bar and 16 lanes, you can't go wrong.

Race Details (important info for registered athletes)

Packet Pickup

Each racer will receive a packet prior to the race that includes your bib number, timing chip, t-shirt, and other goodies. You can find your packet at the registration table at our sports expo on Friday. You'll need a PHOTO ID to pick up your packet.

Packets should be picked-up prior to the race at the expo. Race-day packet pick-up is available, however this option is strongly discouraged.

Race Day Logistics

Start Times

Key Locations, Starting Lines, Finish Lines

The Big Picture
There are three main race locations, Snow Summit Mountain Resort, the Big Bear Village, and the Division Dr. start line. The Expo is at Snow Summit on Friday. Then on Saturday, all athletes will go park at Snow Summit and shuttle to their start lines. ½ Marathoners will go to Division Dr. The rest go to the Village and start there. ALL races finish in the Village.

Because everyone finishes there, the Village is a great place to be on race day. If you haven't been to Big Bear before, you especially will find the experience unique and entertaining. Family, friends and spectators will enjoy the cozy restaurants, shopping and personality, not to mention the post-race concert that starts at noon.

Spectators are encouraged to also park in the Snow Summit lot and take the shuttles that will be making rounds all day on Saturday. This way everyone can hang out in the Village as runners finish without a traffic jam or safety hazard. The Village will be mostly restricted to traffic throughout the race, so it will be highly inconvient to try to bring your vehicle there.

More parking details »

Big Bear Village
The Hwy 18 Business District lovingly known as the "Big Bear Village" is located at the intersection of Village Dr and Pine Knot Ave. Google Map it!

This location will serve as:

• Full Marathon, Bike Tour, 5K & Kids' Run start line
• Finish line for ALL courses
• Site of the Expo on Saturday
• Site of the Awards Ceremony and Concert
• A great place to hang out, shop, watch finishers come in, and more!

The Village will be served by shuttle from the parking areas at Snow Summit Resort. Parking here is extremely limited, and likely to lead to some unhappy glares from locals if you block their driveways. All athletes shoudl park at the Snow Summit parking lots and take our convenient shuttles. More parking details »

Division Dr.
The ½ Marathon start line is on North Shore Dr. / Hwy 38 intersection with Division Dr.

THERE IS NO PARKING AT THIS STARTING AREA. Not some parking. Not a tiny bit of parking. NO parking. It would be an absolute mess, so please park at the main parking lots and take the shuttles. More parking details »

Race-day Packing and Planning

updated thursday, august 28, 2008

The most important thing we can emphasize is that you should park in the parking lot at Snow Summit and take the shuttles to your start area, then rely on the shuttles to get back to your car after you finish.

Morning Temperatures: Early a.m. temps in Big Bear are chilly, in the 40-50 degree range. Bike tour riders should wear warm clothing, perhaps a wind breaker, and gloves. Runners should plan to have an insulating top if you find these temps uncomfortable. Early aid stations will collect any clothing you leave with them for donation to a local charity. Daytime temperatures in the mountains rise to 60-80 degrees (once the sun rises, things heat up quickly), so you most likely will only need warm clothing in the morning.

6:30 a.m. start from Big Bear Village

Park at the athlete parking lot and take shuttles to the Big Bear Village.

½ Marathon

7:30 a.m. Start from Division Dr. start line

Only bring running essentials to the start area. There will be water and restrooms (portable toilets) there, but little else (and NO PARKING).

Spectators

If you’re going to be out on the course, take a look at the driving directions tab and familiarize yourself with the road closures and accessible routes. Remember that parking at the Big Bear Village will be challenging. Listen to FM 93.3 KBHR for traffic updates and parking information on race day.

Driving

Google map of Big Bear which will provide you with nice directions from wherever you're coming from.

Driving for athletes and participants

If you haven’t been to Big Bear before, it is not a large place. The whole valley measures not much over 10 miles in length, which means the marathon course will loop around and cross the main throughfares several times. On race day, it will be best to park in the participant's parking lot at Snow Summit and take the shuttles provided by race organizers. This will help make sure you arrive where you need to be on time and aren’t stuck in a line of cars in some corner of town. See the parking and shuttle details below.

If you can, it is also a good idea to stay in a hotel, motel or cabin within walking distance of your start line or the parking area (so you can get on the shuttles). The lodging providers listed on the left of this page or listed in the local info and lodging section all meet those necessities and can give you detailed instructions on how to get to the start lines from their location.

Information for local driving on race day

• Hwy 18 / Big Bear Blvd. between Paine Road and the Dam will be closed to westbound traffic from 5:30am to around 9:30am. Limited eastbound traffic will be allowed with significant delays. Take alternate routes.
• North Shore Drive will remain open to westbound traffic during the race, and progressively re-open to eastbound traffic as the last runners move along the course.
• To minimize neighborhood congestion, athletes will park in Snow Summit’s parking lot(s) and shuttle to the Village and ½ Marathon start.
  
  
  
  
• Big Bear Blvd. between Knight Ave. and Pine Knot Ave. will allow one traffic lane in each direction until all runners are clear.
• Expect some delays on Big Bear Blvd. at Summit Blvd. and Division Dr. as runners cross.
• Traffic will be back to normal early Saturday afternoon.

Parking

The best parking strategy is to park your car at your hotel, motel or cabin and walk to the start area or shuttle pickup at the main parking lot. If that is not possible, there is ample parking at Snow Summit Mountain Resort. Google Map it! Parking will open as early as 4:00a.m. on race day.

Parking for athletes near the Village is extremely limited and not recommended at all. There is NO PARKING at the ½ Marathon start.

Shuttles

Athletes participating in the full marathon should arrive at the Village start/finish area NO LATER THAN 6:00a.m. Shuttles will start taking athletes from parking to the start at 5:00a.m.

½ marathon athletes should arrive to the Division Dr. start line NO LATER THAN 7:00a.m. Shuttles will start transporting athletes around 6:00a.m. from the Snow Summit parking lot.

For family and friends, 5k runners, 1k kids race participants, and early finishers, a shuttle will run continuously between the Village start/finish area and parking. As the bulk of marathon and 1/2 marathon racers finish, more shuttles will be available to take these runners to their vehicles.

Last shuttle from the Village start/finish area will be 4:00p.m.
