Organiser's Description

WELCOME TO THE BEAR CREEK TRAILATHON WINTER ENDURANCE CHALLENGE!

- EVENT DATE IS JANUARY 11TH, 2025
- Start time is 9:00AM

The Winter Endurance Challenge is a timed, loop-style "race" taking place over the course of a 6, 12 and 24 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 time period. Participants may run/walk one mile or as many as they'd like with the allotted 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 9AM and end at 3PM, 9PM or 9AM on the 12th. All laps must be completed by the cutoff time to be counted.

Although were no longer organizing 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 youre ready, and theyll 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 WESTERN NC HURRICANE HELENE VICTIMS. By the the time this event takes place, a few months will have passed and the news media will have likely forgotten about the victims of Hurricane Helene. But we will not forget. We will do what we can to help! 100% of the proceeds from this year's event will go to Western NC.
