Last Bear Standing

About the Event

Last Bear Standing is an unconventional endurance challenge that pushes racers to their limits through strategic thinking and relentless determination. Participants must complete a 2-mile loop with ten obstacles every hour, starting exactly at the top of each hour. The race continues until only one competitor remains in either the men’s or women's division.
The event does not adhere to traditional racing formats; instead, it focuses on outlasting other racers by choosing when and how much energy to conserve. Finish your loops quickly for a brief respite before starting again, but be cautious—missing an hour means elimination from the competition. The challenge continues until only one male and one female racer are left standing.
Families of participants can enjoy discounted admission to Bear Lake Adventure Park on race day, allowing them to cheer on their loved ones while exploring the park's attractions for $10 off regular prices.
Racers who complete this grueling event will have access to exclusive swag items like custom T-shirts and hoodies. Custom gear is available at a cost of $15 for shirts and $35 for hoodies, with orders placed by October 1st ensuring delivery before the race day.
Post-race recovery amenities are also offered through partnerships with local spas. Racers can unwind in serene settings designed to help them recover from their intense physical exertion.
For those looking to enhance their performance during the event, a Deluxe Aid Station add-on is available for $45. This station provides essential hydration options, electrolytes, quick carbohydrates, and salty and sweet snacks that are easy to consume mid-race. Racers should be cautious about trying new products on race day; it’s best to stick with familiar nutrition choices.
Join the challenge at Last Bear Standing and see if you have what it takes to become the ultimate champion in either division.
