Baker's Dozen Half Marathon, Relay, & 5K

Baker's Dozen is a sugar-themed race day at Three Falls Park in Hurricane, Utah, featuring a half marathon, a relay, and a 5K. The half marathon follows a 3.25-mile loop that participants run four times, bringing everyone back through the start-finish area rather than using a point-to-point course. The relay divides the distance into one approximately 5K loop per runner, and the 5K option is just over 5K, according to the organizers. The race's unique feature is the Sugar Shack, an aid station at the end of each loop offering donuts, cupcakes, cookies, Twinkies, pastries, and other sweets. Half marathoners must consume a treat each time they pass the Sugar Shack to qualify for their medal, with volunteers verifying consumption; relay runners require one treat for their medal. The loop format fosters a social atmosphere, as runners frequently encounter one another. The swag selection is informal and fun: half marathon and relay runners choose two items from a bin of mugs, towels, shirts, hats, and similar merchandise, while 5K runners select one item.
