Big Bear Marathon:
Are you ready?

Be a step above the rest; get your training from the altitude experts who live and train in Big Bear everyday.

Who: the Strong and Intrepid
(or maybe stupid and overconfident!)
What: everything you need to succeed
Where: Big Bear Lake, CA
When: September 6, 2008

The Big Bear Marathon is no ordinary marathon. Run in beautiful Big Bear with miles of lake-front running, you’ll enjoy our special mountain town atmosphere and be challenged by the altitude. It will be a run to remember… but you’d better be ready!

We are arranging group training, training resources for all ages of beginners, women-only clinics, advanced programs for veterans looking to perform well (or even PR), and of course, the official Big Bear Marathon training camps for all.

Come run with us!
