About the Big Bear SquaTCh South

The course runs through Harriman State Park on a single loop of singletrack trail. It is non-stop woods the whole way, the kind of terrain where you are watching your feet as much as the scenery. Both distance options cover the same park, so the surroundings are the draw regardless of which route you choose.

Part of what your entry fee supports is the trail work the organizing conference does in this park. That connection to the people who actually maintain the trails gives the morning a different feel than most road events.

Common Questions About the Big Bear SquaTCh South

Will I finish last at the Big Bear SquaTCh South?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 3:08:07, and the last recorded finisher came in around 6:00:00, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Big Bear SquaTCh South a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (131 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Big Bear SquaTCh South?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:50:55 while the median finisher took 3:08:07. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
