The Experience
The Baker's Dozen Half Marathon in Hurricane, UT, offers a unique twist on race day: a chance to gain weight while running. This social and fun event features a 3.25-mile loop course, allowing participants to interact with fellow runners throughout the race.
Half marathoners complete the loop four times, passing the "Sugar Shack" aid station at the end of each circuit. To earn their finisher's medal, runners must consume a treat at the Sugar Shack three times. Volunteers will verify this sweet requirement, making it a truly unique challenge for those who enjoy a bit of indulgence with their miles.
For those not up for the full half marathon, a "just barely over 5K" option is also available. The event emphasizes camaraderie and a lighthearted approach to racing, making it a memorable experience for all.
Race-provided description
When was the last time you gained weight during a race?!
The Baker's Dozen Half Marathon, Relay, & 5K is your opportunity to combine some of the best things in life: 1) Friends 2) Running & 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. All half marathon and relay runners will receive an AMAZING finisher's medal. But... you have to earn it. Not only will 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 (each relay runner just needs to eat one treat). Half marathon not your speed? That's ok! Join us for the "just barely over 5K"!
