Runners follow an out-and-back loop course through Bear Creek Lake State Park just outside Lakewood at the Bear Chase Trail Half Marathon, which also features the 10K, 50K and 50-mile trail race distances. The race starts and finishes in the parking lot near the northwest corner of the lake, and from there follows a counter-clockwise loop through the park, unfolding along a combination of mostly dirt and some paved trails, as well as stretches that take runners around the edges of Fox Hollow Golf Course.
