A Bear Run + Charity Event

Most of the ABF events take place at our Host Hotel, where you can eat, drink, shop, party, play, relax.... In other words, be you!

There is something always going on during the day, such as games and competitions around the pool, up-beat music by our DJ, shopping at our vendors' booths, trips to local restaurants.... During the evening, we have trips to local bar so you can dance all night long, participate in competitions, fuel-up with snacks and refreshments at our Bear Cave, just kick back and stay at our Host Hotel, while relaxing, taking a night swim in the pool under the moonlight, or enjoying some cocktails and converstation at our Lounge 120. So go ahead, do as much as you want or as little as you wish.

Oh, one more thing.... We are donating a portion of the proceeds from this event to those in the local community who are in need. So, smile, knowing that you did something good. And be kind, open your arms and heart for some new friends and reconnect with your old ones. After all, life is a bear.

Optional Excursions & Sponsor Visits

Optional trips to sponsor locations listed on our schedule are provided as a courtesy to highlight exclusive attendee discounts. These sponsors operate completely independently of our event. We do not control their business operations and cannot accept responsibility for any experiences, services, or transactions during these optional visits.

Welcome to ABF! We’re excited to have you here! Here’s a quick guide to get you started:

• When you arrive, check in at the hotel front desk first to get your room, then head to ABF Registration to pick up your run bag. While there, you can also buy raffle tickets and pick up any winnings if you’re a lucky winner!
• Check the schedule so you don’t miss any events.
• The pool area is the center of the action—pool parties, games, costume contests, group photoshoots, and more. Please note: no smoking or glass allowed.
• Hotel policy prohibits public nudity — if it swings, shakes, or claps, cover the gaps.
• Vendor rooms are located around the pool for you to explore.
• Need a break? Visit the Bear Cave for scheduled drinks and snacks, or check out additional food and refreshments outside/inside of Bear Cave at select times.
• Want to relax with a drink? Stop by Lounge 120 during its scheduled hours.
• Heading out at night? Grab the free shuttle from the lobby to Eagle—shuttles run every 30–45 minutes during scheduled times.

Enjoy ABF and have an amazing time!
