2026 Bear Mountain Trail Challenge

Located on the west bank of the Hudson River just an hour outside New York City, Bear Mountain State Park is home to an endless network of trails connecting streams, lakes, and minor peaks.

All types of terrain can be found here, but racers should expect to face short, punchy climbs and extremely technical sections.

The elevation profile suggests a speedy course, but the rugged terrain will challenge racers of all abilities. Most of the route passes through dense forest, but some of the higher points offer great views of the surrounding area.
