Great Bear is known for the skiing but there are 4+ miles of hiking/running trails also available within the 220 acre park. The race will start/finish near the bottom of the bunny hill on the west side of the chalet. The trails are a mix of wide hard packed gravel, wider single-track, and even a bit of mowed grass. The mostly gravel trails take you on some flat areas but they do go up three bluffs with some spectacular views from the top. There is a good mix of wooded hills and pockets of open prairie trails too. The loop through the park works out to be pretty close to exactly 3 miles with around 450ft of elevation gain.
Falls Area Single Track (FAST) is also looking to add upwards of 17 miles of new trails in the park. Please see their dedicated Great Bear website page with the most up-to-date information on the proposed trails and take their survey to have your voice heard on how they should look! https://www.fallsareasingletrack.org/trails/great-bear
