don't you just have to technically run faster than your hiking companions?
Years ago, I had gone hiking with some friends, and the park rangers told us to make noise on the trails to keep the bears away... (ie bells on our backpacks, etc..) He also suggested that if we encountered a deaf bear that wasn't disturbed by the noise - to head downhill fast because bears couldn't run downhill... we never did see a bear.. so we couldn't test the theory - but something to keep in mind..
