Welcome to the Bear Creek Trailathon Winter Endurance Challenge!

- Event date is January 13th, 2024 
- Start time is 10:00AM
- $25 registration "donation" is requested day-of

The Winter Endurance Challenge is a timed, loop-style "race" taking place over the course of a 12 hour time frame.

As this is ultimately a charity fundraiser, there is no minimum distance requirement; however, awards will be given to the runners (or run teams) who complete the most mileage by the end of the day. Participants may run/walk one mile or as many as they'd like with the allotted 12 hour time frame. The course will consist of a 1.3 mile and a 3.1 mile (5K) loop options. Runners may traverse any combination of these 2 loops throughout the day. 
If you're aiming for a new distance PR or just looking for a fun day with the running community, this is the event for you!

The event will start at 10AM and end at 10PM. All laps must be completed by the cutoff time to be counted.

Foothills Outdoors is organizing a timed 5K run for anyone that would like to participate. This will be optional; however, anyone registered for the 12-hour event will automatically be eligible to run. This race will follow the same 5K course the 12-hour is utilizing. Race will begin at 3:00 PM.
Although we’re no longer planning to do a mass start 5K race in the afternoon, we will still plan to offer a timed 5K lap for anyone who would like to have one timed/recorded. This will be for bragging rights and potential prizes. Just let a staff member at base camp know when you’re ready, and they’ll time and record your lap. 

The Winter Endurance Challenge is a charity fundraising event presented by Stellar Scoops Ice Cream Shop, Foothills Outdoors and North Moore Lions Club. Proceeds from this years event will go to Robbins Area Christian Ministry. This organization, among other things, runs the local food bank!
