The Bear 100 is a Hardrock and Western States 100 qualifier and is an UTMB index race.
Race Day is Friday September 25, 2026
6am Start - 36 hr cutoff
Race Fee: $350 + Tax + Ultrasignup Fee

Other Fine Print: Race management may use their discretion if the race is canceled for any reason. You may not receive some or all of your entry back if that occurs. Race management also reserves the right to deny entry to anyone for any reason.

Qualifier

You must complete a 50 miler in under 16 hours OR complete any 100K, 100 or 200 Miler under the cutoff before registering for the 2025 Bear 100. You have to have completed an official race of 50 miles or longer. No links to Strava of a birthday run count, sorry. In order to qualify for the 2026 event you must have completed the requirement within the last 4 years prior to registering (qualifying window December 1, 2021 - December 1, 2025).

We will verify all qualifiers after the lottery window closes via official race results from Ultrasignup and/or the race's websites. Anyone who registers but has failed to complete the required qualifier will not be eligible for the lottery.

Service Form Requirements

You are required to perform 8 hours of service (trail work or volunteer at an ultra) to run The Bear 100. The window of service begins September 25, 2025 until the deadline on September 15, 2026. The service requirement isn't required to be completed prior to registering.

See the website for more details.
