BLUE BULLY ULTRA
3-Day Stage Race
Sign up for individual days, or all three at once to be a part of the full weekend experience
This isn’t just a race – it’s a full weekend of trail running and fun, designed for every kind of runner. Challenge yourself over three days of trail racing – from fast vertical climbs, to ultra-distance grinds, to a strategic time-based finale. Ontario’s only three-day stage race is here, October 3-5. Will you take on the challenge? The weekend offers three styles of race, all set to the backdrop of the changing autumn colours of the Bruce Peninsula. The Big Bully consists of the longest distances of all three days, or choose the Little Bully and do the shorter distances.
Day 1: The Stampede
The Friday evening event is short and fast, with as much vertical as we can pack into 5km.
Day 2: The Drive
Saturday is about distance, in this cross-country 50k/25k classic. For buckos aged 15 and under, there is also the Woolly Bully Kids Race.
Day 3: The Round-Up
We wrap up the weekend on Sunday with a 3-hour and 1.5-hour timed loop race. Do as many loops as you can in your time bracket.
There is an award ceremony each day, where the top three female and male finishers will join us on the podium. On Sunday, we have the big awards for the top competitors who raced all three days of the Big Bully and Little Bully.
What you get:
• First and foremost, you get a fun, exciting, and professionally organized event
• Racers who sign up for all three days get a ticket to the post-race meal on Friday and Saturday – everyone else is welcome to purchase tickets
• Each day has a different swag item – Day 1 = microfleece neck tube/head wrap – Day 2 = high-quality tech tee – Day 3 = custom Blue Bully toque. Register for all three days and you receive all three!
• A social event and fun times after both the Friday and Saturday races, plus live music on Saturday
• The grand finale and closing ceremony on Sunday
• We don't cut corners when it comes to safety and the other hidden details – we offer full medical and SAR support to our competitors
Share the Love: Use the Race Roster referral tool when you register, and you will build up a credit to score free swag from our race store. For each successful referral (i.e. the person signs up), you will get:
• 5 referrals = a short-sleeve tee or equivalent
• 10 referrals = a race hoodie or equivalent
• 20 referrals = $150 race credit
Pro tip: If you want to sign up for two days, or register a friend, you need to select ADD ANOTHER before you check out, and then select the second day.
