Hey Bear Trail Race

Les autres informations

Hey Bear Trail race is returning for 2026! Previously held in 2023 and 2024, the course utilizes the fantastic trails maintained and operated by Terrace Off Road Cycling Association (TORCA), including La La Valley and, the namesake trail, Hey Bear. As such, all proceeds from the event will be donated to TORCA who maintain our awesome trail network here in Terrace.

The course starts at the Spring Creek access road parking area. PARKING IS LIMITED SO PLEASE CARPOOL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. After 1.3km on the access road, the course takes a right onto La La Valley trail. From here, you'll follow this trail for approximately 400m with some climbing until you reach a junction with many trails (5 trails combined at this point). You will then enter the Hey Bear trail loop and run it in a clockwise direction. The loop is approximately 2.2km and will return you to the aforementioned trail junction where you will descend La La Valley trail and the access road back to the parking area.

The course will be marked throughout and there will be volunteers at major intersections. A first aid attendant will be on site.

All trails will be open to the public during the event. Please be courteous to all other trail users, including bikers, hikers, dogs and horses-- indicate when passing and make your presence known. This a family friendly event and we encourage everyone to come out!

The course is approximately 6km total (your watch/GPS device may vary) with 150m of elevation gain and loss. The Hey Bear loop is moderately technical with roots and rocks, while La La valley and Spring Creek access road are runnable and less technical. With that said, please run within your comfort zone and use caution. As always, please also be bear aware.

Start time will be 9am on July 18, 2026.
