Our Story

The creators of the world famous Running With The Bears Marathon are excited to announce we have added a gravel grinder to our list of fundraisers. The third annual Bear Growl Gravel ride will occur on Saturday, September 12, 2020 in beautiful Greenville, Ca. This is a fully supported and non-timed event. This unique ride includes options for everyone. Highlighting this ride is a grueling 97 mile gravel loop that will take you all the way around Indian Valley. Riders can expect spectacular views from high peaks, 9,100' of elevation gain, and a 60/40 gravel to pavement ratio. Two shorter gravel loops are available as well. The Bear Growl century also offers a 101 mile pavement ride with 6,000' of elevation gain, a 54 mile ride with 3500' of climbing, and a relatively flat 33 mile pavement ride. And of course the Bear Growl Gravel Grinder will feature a catered lunch and post ride beer from a variety of breweries!
