Bigger. Better. Monster.
Starting at Harbor Village near the shores of beautiful Bear Lake, runners will encounter one of the most scenic, yet challenging, half marathons in the region.
With roughly 1,200 feet of vertical gain, the 13.1 mile course travels into the foothills overlooking Bear Lake before descending back to the finish line.
