Bear Mountain State Park, just an hour outside of downtown Manhattan, is ready to host the second edition of Spartan Trail's Bear Mountain Trail Challenge.

From beginner to experienced trail runners, the whole community is welcome with our three distances to choose: a fast-but-techy 10k, a Half Marathon that will challenge both your speed and agility, and a 50k that will test both your physical and mental strength.

Event starts and ends on Saturday, May 4th.

• 50k: 7:00 a.m.
• Half Marathon: 8:00 a.m.
• 10K: 10 a.m. *

*Please note that if the 10k or Half Marathon heats are full, we will open more spots on a later heat. This is a requirement from Bear Mountain State Park, in order to keep our runners safe and have a better organized event.

Half Marathon and 50K runners are required to carry 20 ounces of water capacity.

The top 3 males and females overall for each distance as well as the top 3 males and females in each 6 age groups will receive awards during a podium ceremony after the race.

Runners must be present at the awards ceremony to receive their award - awards will not be mailed.

Age groups are as follows: 14-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60+

Parking area for runners will be at Anthony Wayne Recreation area (race start/finish area). Be sure to arrive with spare time. There is a bag check at the start and finish area.

The Runners Guide are available on the Event Website. Please read them carefully.

Intermediate race cut-offs are safety-based and will be indicated by race staff and volunteers. We will soon upload the athlete's guide with detailed information on cutoffs.
