Crossover Half

Get ready for a new race experience!!!

The Crossover Half brings with it a new experience for half marathon runners. This race is a ‘crossover’ from roads towards trails. This out and back course, run on gravel/dirt roads with a little bit of pavement, not only has the usual challenge of the distance itself, but instead of an all downhill or flat course, it adds in the challenge of a gradual uphill first 5 miles leading into a steeper but run-able 1 mile climb around the 5 mile mark, before crossing over the hill and heading down a short descent to the halfway and turnaround point. After turning to head back you’ll ascend to crossover the hill again and begin the quick downhill mile followed by a gradual 5 mile descent back to the finish. This course will challenge you, but with room to run alongside family, friends or someone you just met, and a beautiful green mountain landscape to enjoy along the way, this half is sure to become a favorite of yours.

Additionally, as part of the experience, there is the opportunity to camp out in tents, reserve a bed in one of the little cabins or an RV spot, and stay at the Little Bear River Retreat with family or friends and wake up where the adventure begins, ready to run! Reservations required.
