The Black Bear Half Marathon is returning to Waterville Valley in 2023! Get ready for a day full of family-fun in the mountains with events for everyone - 5k, fun run, 1 mile, plus kids races too!

Students, parents, and teachers are beyond grateful for your support last year, which helped to maintain the after-school program at the Waterville Valley Elementary School. Once again, proceeds will support the school's PTA and their work in the community.

The races will take place over Labor Day weekend on Saturday, September 2nd, 2023. Sign up before race day to guarantee yourself a spot in the race with a medal, custom hat, and race bib to take home.
