The 24th Annual Big Bear Run is ready to rumble. As part of the AMA National Dual Sport Series, the Big Bear Run will test your skills on dirt, but only as much as you are want. Both days of riding have hard, easy, and adventure bike routes to choose from on GPS tracks available for download.

The Hard route is not messing around. The Big Bear Trail Riders include the most steep, technical, rocky terrain that can be found in the Big Bear area. Aggressive knobbies and lots of skill are recommended for this challenging, possibly eight-hour day of riding. But you will be rewarded with some of the sweetest trails in SoCal and great views to boot. But, if you aren’t ready for that kind of excitement, all-skill levels are welcome to ride the Easy and Adventure Bike route options.

Riders who complete all of Saturday’s Hard routes will get a coveted finisher plaque that is truly hard to come by. Typically 200 or so riders sign up for the Hard route and about 50 riders complete it.

Dry camping (no hookups) is free in the Convention Center parking lot, though there are campsites and hotels nearby for alternate accommodations.
