The Course
Two Bear Marathon is known for its beautiful scenery. Our mountain landscape is one of the main reasons people visit, and running through it is a treat! The marathon, half marathon, and 5K all start and end at Depot Park in town. Of course, these routes vary because of their different lengths. Check out the courses:
Running for a Good Cause
Not only is this marathon a great time, but it is also for a good cause! The Two Bear Marathon is hosted by The Wave, and 100% of its proceeds and sponsorships go to The Wave Scholarship Fund. This way, members of The Wave that can’t afford a full cost of membership get to join at a price they can afford. For those that are not local, The Wave is similar to a YMCA and offers a lot of benefits to our community!
Don’t Miss the After Party!
After you run your race, it’s time to celebrate! Enjoy free sandwiches and beer with your fellow runners, or opt to head to one of the food trucks. These food trucks are also available for your family and friends that watched the race! If you want to continue the party around town, we are more than happy to recommend some of our favorite spots to you. Bonsai Brewing Project is right next door to Good Medicine Lodge!
