1 Weekend, 2 Races, 3 Medals... Are you up for the challenge?

The Black Bear Double includes the Great Smoky Mountains Half Marathon and the Great Smoky Mountains 5K.

With a Black Bear Double registration, you'll earn:
- One race shirt
- ONE special Black Bear Double swag item - during registration, you’ll choose between a hat, pint glass, campers mug, t-shirt, tank top, or beach hoodie and you’ll pick it up at the race expo. Additional items can be purchased at the end of the second race.
- Two finisher medals - one for each race
- One Black Bear Double medal

⚠️ Simply running each individual race does not qualify you for the Black Bear Double medal or swag. You need to register for the Black Bear Double specifically.
