Bears Ears Half Marathon
Bears Ears Half Marathon race day weather
Cold start — layer up, big temp swing
Runners will start in chilly 37°F conditions — dress in layers for the corral and plan to shed early. Temps will climb significantly to 60°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 67% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

About the Bears Ears Half Marathon
The Half Marathon covers the second half of the Bears Ears Marathon course, starting just outside White Mesa, Utah, and finishing in Bluff. It is a point-to-point route on Highway 191 and other paved surfaces that drops off White Mesa into Recapture Pocket soon after the start, running alongside Bears Ears National Monument. Small rolling hills break up the middle miles before the last large descent through Cow Canyon into Bluff. The course loses nearly 1,000 feet overall and ends at the same finish line as the marathon.
