Fire by Lake Cushman

Attention: There’s a fire burning near the race course for the our Beast of Big Creek races. You can learn all about the ‘Bear Gulch Fire’ on the official website for the wildfire management here.

Our team is working on a possible plan of action. We’re monitoring the development closely and will keep you all updated here on this post and via email!

Currently none of the trails and/or campground our event is on are affected by the fire.

Please reach out with question – but at this point it’s still too early to determine what will happen.
