The Baker's Dozen

Six kilometres. Every hour. Thirteen times.

At the top of each hour the bell sends you back onto the Woolastook trails—roots, climbs, dark corners, and that long stretch where you’ll decide what kind of day it’s going to be. Finish the loop, sit down, stare at your shoes, and wait for the clock to call you out again.

There’s no banking time and no negotiating with the schedule. You either make the start line or your race is over. Survive all 13 loops and you’ve earned the whole Baker’s Dozen—78 hard kilometres done one stubborn hour at a time. Do you have what it takes?

How the Event Works

The race begins at 8:00 AM sharp. Racers will complete a 6 km loop within one hour. Just before 9:00 AM, everyone returns to the start line and heads out again at exactly 9:00 AM for the next loop.

This format continues each hour:
finish the loop within the hour, return to the start, and be ready to go when the next hour begins. If a racer fails to complete a loop within the time limit — or does not start the next loop on time — they are out.

Racers will continue this pattern for 12 hours. At the start of the 13th hour, the final lap begins — and on this lap, the first person to the finish wins.

Food & Drink

We will be providing food and hydration throughout the event. At the main hub at the top of the hill, you’ll find tables stocked with snacks, along with coolers filled with water and electrolyte drinks.

This is a cupless race, so please bring your own reusable cup or bottle.

Directions & Parking

From the Trans-Canada Highway, take Exit 271 (Mazerolle Settlement). At the end of the off-ramp, turn right onto Mazerolle Settlement Road and follow it to the end. Turn left onto Route 102.

When you reach the park, take the exit off Highway 102 and onto the side of the park with the Woolastook mountain bike trails. Follow the gravel road uphill to one of the two parking areas near the start line. Volunteers will be on site to direct traffic.
