Live Race Cancelled!

Due to the Creek Fire, The Smokey Bear Run has made the EXTREMELY difficult decision to cancel this years in-person event. Due to the horrible air quality and to better delegate recourses for the community, the 2020 Smokey Bear Run has gone completely virtual. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT DURING THESE DIFFICULT TIMES AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU IN 2021!

THERE WILL BE NO PACKET PICKUP. YOUR SWAG WILL BE MAILED OUT TO YOU!
