Black Bear Half Marathon & 8K

The 4th annual Black Bear Half Marathon & 8k presented by Hunter Subaru is back again for 2023 and is now USATF sanctioned!

The in-person half marathon and 8k both wind through Hendersonville, NC on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023. There is also a Virtual Half Marathon and 8k running option for runners not able to attend the in-person event.

The Black Bear Half and 8k both offer a scenic, mostly flat course along the Oklawaha Greenway. The Half Marathon has less than 400 feet of elevation gain so you won’t want to miss it!
