Refunds Policy and Voluntarism
Because expenses in a race like the Bear are generally incurred early, if the race is cancelled because of conditions beyond our control, we reserve the right to retain the entire balance of the entry fee. We are a nonprofit race and will endeavor to return a portion of those fees that we are able, but cannot guarantee such return. Thank you for your understanding.

They also receive a belt buckle reflective of their time: a Black Bear buckle for times between 30-36 hours, a Grizzly Bear buckle for times between 24-30 hours, and a Wolverine buckle for times under 24 hours.

WHY A FRIDAY RACE? Many runners ask why the Bear 100 begins on a Friday. There are several reasons. First, many participants and volunteers (radio operators, scout troops at the aid stations) are latter-day saints ("Mormons") and find it difficult to participate on a Sunday. Second, Saturday recreationists and ranchers have less of an impact when the field is spread out on Saturday morning. Finally, for those traveling from long distance, taking Thursday and Friday off is easier than taking off Friday and Monday. If you like or dislike our Friday start, let us know. phil@phillowry.comSoul Focus Productions' Dancing the Bear is now out on DVD. Check out the trailer
