Major climbs and descents

The Bear opens with its longest climb, then repeats long climbs of varying difficulty against a mix of smooth and rocky descents all the way to Bear Lake. Training should rehearse several long climbs in one session, not just one.

What runners should replicate during training

A useful The Bear 100 training route doesn’t need to match its distance -- it needs to reproduce the order and intensity of its climbs and descents. Match the course’s terrain rhythm above rather than picking any local hill at random.

How GetRaceTwin finds a local match

GetRaceTwin’s automatic route matching today searches roads and sidewalks, not trails -- so it can find a local route that rehearses The Bear 100’s climbs and descents, but not one that reproduces its actual trail surface. Trail-specific matching is on our roadmap; until then, use the course breakdown above to guide your own trail training.
