Kids Adventure Race returns to Bear Mountain in August 2026

Bear Mountain will host the third stop of the Kids Adventure Race over the weekend of August 28–30, 2026, giving young athletes a chance to test their skills on the resort's slopes[1].

Children ages 6–14 compete in pairs, teaming up with a partner to navigate a course stretching 3.5 to 5 miles and featuring between 12 and 15 man-made and natural obstacles[1]. The route takes teams across Bear Mountain's terrain by bike, through water challenges, and on foot — a mix of disciplines designed to encourage problem-solving as much as speed[1].

Organizers bill the event as a family affair, not just a competition for the kids on the course[1]. Parents and siblings are encouraged to take part in the broader weekend experience while the younger adventurers put their mountain skills to work.

Registration details, pricing, and a full schedule had not been publicly posted at the time of publication and could not be confirmed. Families interested in signing up or learning more should watch Bear Mountain Resort's events page for updates as the August weekend approaches. A quote from a race organizer or a returning participant family was not available for this story; Big Bear News will follow up as more details are released.
