Why run the Paw? Runners will enjoy the thrill of running through the beautiful Bears Paw Mountains!
The Bear Paws (as the locals call them) were named for the unique formation of the island mountains, which resemble a bear's outstretched paw.
In the foothills of the mountains are the pristine lakes and rolling hills of Beaver Creek Park, the largest county park in the nation. This unique race is a must for all marathoners!
You won’t run from the bears here, you’ll run through them!
Set your goal now and start training for the 2026 Bear Paw Marathon! Whether you’re a seasoned runner, beginner, or anywhere in between - the Bear Paw Marathon is the perfect race for you.
This run has you surrounded by nature’s beauty from start to finish.
