Cubs Bear Race

Can You Out Run a Bear

The Cubs Bear Race is one of the most fun and interactive activities for kids during the Black Bear Festival. This exciting 40-yard dash gives participants a chance to test their speed and find out if they can outrun a black bear, or at least another wild animal.

Located in the Kid’s Zone, this free activity is open to all ages and brings plenty of laughter and energy to the festival. After each run, participants receive a sticker showing which animal they were fast enough to outrun, making it a fun and memorable experience.
