According to Alaska State Troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters, the runner was found dead from injuries he sustained in the mauling shortly after 1 p.m. near the Bird Ridge Trail north of Girdwood.
The 16-year old teenager was running the juniors division of the Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb before authorities began searching for him after he texted a relative that a bear was chasing him.
A black bear, found near where the runner was laying, scurried off after being shot in the face.
