The Bear Lake Wyoming marathon features an out-and-back course starting in Cokeville, following a paved road that passes through working cattle ranches and runs parallel to both the Bear River and a stretch of train tracks. Runners encounter frequent elevation changes, with several significant uphills in the first half of the race, making it the most challenging of the three-state Bear Lake marathons in terms of vertical gain.

Bear Lake Wyoming Marathon is a trail race, meaning the course includes unpaved surfaces such as dirt, gravel, or forest paths. Trail surfaces are usually slower than the road equivalent - often by 10-20% - because of uneven footing, technical sections, and frequently steeper gradients, though a smooth, non-technical or downhill trail can run faster than that suggests. Trail-specific shoes with good grip are recommended.
