EXPLORE TWO BEAR MARATHON
THERE’S A PECULIAR ALLURE TO running 26.2 miles of undulating dirt trails around Lion Mountain and Beaver Lake before pounding the asphalt of East Lakeshore Drive to the finish line, but at the Two Bear Marathon in Whitefish, participants are drawn back year after year.
Entering its 11th year, the homegrown marathon will take place Sunday, Sept. 20, when upwards of 200 full-marathon runners will depart from the Whitefish Trail trailhead at Lion Mountain and pad along the burgeoning network of rolling single-track built by the Whitefish Leg- acy Partners.
The Two Bear Marathon is hosted by The Wave and is supported by its spon- sors, and 100 percent of race entry fees are donated to The Wave Scholarship Fund, a program that allows community members who wouldn’t otherwise have the means to enroll at the facility on a sliding scale.
There’s also a half-marathon, kids’ marathon and 5K race, offering a suite of options that will appeal to runners of all abilities.
Register by Sept. 19 at www.twobear- marathon.org.
