Course Description

The 2025 Kodiak Ultra Marathons by UTMB® 100M race circumnavigates the entire Big Bear Valley including a few miles on the Pacific Crest Trail and a visit to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain (9,995′). This is a true mountain 100 miler with a lot of running above 7,000 feet. From the alpine forest with towering pines to the high desert with Joshua trees, you’ll experience several climates and varying vistas from the mountains to Big Bear Lake.

2026 courses are still being finalized, more information coming soon. All courses are subject to change. Thanks for your patience!
