Bearfest’s current programme lists a half marathon and 5K
The page contains links from several years, including older registrations that mention a full marathon. Those archived labels do not establish a full-distance race in the current programme. Check the actual year and available category on the organizer-linked entry before relying on a search result that still calls the event a marathon.
The displayed 2026 half-marathon start is 08:00, with the 5K later. Neither time is a full-marathon start, and both now describe a completed edition. If you are interested in a future Bearfest race, wait for the new schedule and select the distance that is actually offered.
For a marathon-specific goal, confirm another full-distance event before building a final taper or arranging race travel to Wrangell. Compare the replacement’s terrain, time limit and access requirements rather than choosing solely by its name. If an outside calendar advertises a renewed Bearfest marathon, ask the organizer to confirm the edition and registration category.
The available page describes a course meeting and registration at the Nolan Center, along with aid for the shorter race. Use those as historical context only. A future route, supported window or meeting venue may change. Keep your entry confirmation and current athlete instructions together, and make sure any travelling supporter understands the actual distance and finish plan. This status guide preserves the older race reference while preventing the past full-marathon label from implying an active 2027 entry.
