Woolastook Whopping

Do you have it in you to receive a Woolastook Whopping? Are you ready to face your competitors in a challenge that can last up to 12 hours? Then read on!

This will be the 6th anniversary of this 12 hour Last Person Standing trail running event, to be held in Woolastook Park off Route 102 along the Kelly Creek.

At 8AM sharp the horn goes off and all runners have exactly one hour to complete the loop on the trails of wonderful Woolastook Park and to be back at the start line, because at 9AM the horn goes off for loop number two. This loop is in the opposite direction! The course will be different from previous years since some of the trails have been decommissioned; one loop will be about 6 kilometer long and will have around 150 meters of elevation, depending on your watch.

The trails are a mixture of gravel and technical single and double track.

This will go on for 11 hours. The 12th and last hour will be a race in its normal sense of the word; in other words: you have to beat your opponents to the finish line.

But, you may not care about winning and just like participating: everyone is a hero! So just keep on running till you can't move your legs anymore. For those running more than 7 loops, you will be able to finish your (first?) ultra-marathon!
