The Bear100 is a annual tradition in Cache Valley that brings ultramarathoners from around the country, and even globally, to run the Cache-Wasatch Range. The race took place just last week, so we thought it would be a good time to break out a 2019 interview with the founder and race director, Leland Barker.
Check out the story about the race from Highlander Magazine as well!
