BLACK BEARS

Black bears live throughout the area, and runners should always be aware that wildlife encounters are possible. The presence of bears is a normal part of traveling through this wilderness.

If you encounter a bear, remain calm, give it plenty of space, and do not approach or feed it. Never run toward or attempt to interact with wildlife.

Bear spray, pepper spray, or similar chemical deterrent sprays are NOT permitted to be carried by participants during the race. Please follow all race and park wildlife-safety guidelines.
