When was the last time you GAINED weight during a race??? The Baker’s Dozen Half Marathon is your opportunity to combine some of the best things in life: 1) Friends, 2) Running, and 3) Sugar!
The Baker’s Dozen is a social, fun event where runners race a 3.25 mile loop course allowing them to interact with other runners during the whole race. Half marathoners will run the loop four times and have the incredible fortune of passing the aid station (affectionately known as the “Sugar Shack”) at the end of every loop. Each member of a marathon relay team will run one 5k loop. (You can do your loops together or separately.) 5k runners will only run one loop.
Half marathon runners will receive an AMAZING finisher’s medal. But… you have to earn it. Not only do you run 13 miles, but to earn a medal you must also consume a treat each time you pass the Sugar Shack (3 times total). Volunteers will verify your gluttony, so don’t register for the race if you don’t plan to eat some calories.
The Sugar Station will include all the foods you would expect to find in heaven including donuts, cupcakes, cookies, and Twinkies. So let the training begin! (And by “training” we mean “Bring on the maple bars!”)

First of all, this “race” is untimed. You get a bib, but there’s no chip in it, and no official results. It’s purely a social event, which exactly what lots of us need in early December after a hard season of races. You’ll have a chance to socialize with friends, see all the wacky costumes, and eat doughnuts along the way. (And by the way, they don’t actually make you eat a WHOLE doughnut on each loop. You can, of course, but they only require you to eat the equivalent of a doughnut hole-sized pastry.) The medals are big and gaudy! Do yourself a favor and join the fun!
