In short burst and they don't corner all that well. If you can get away at first, chances are you'll outrun it, but the first10-20 sec. are crucial. Of course you can just do like most of us and never go into that unhealthy place to start with.
You can't unrun a bear. But you could attempt to fight it off. Your best option is to scare it by making yourself appear as large and threatening as possible. Wave your arms, yell, brandish large sticks or bags. If it gets within five feet, fight for your dumb life. Go for the eyes.

If it's black, fight back.
If it's white, say goodnight.
Black, fight back
White, good night
