Bakers Dozen 50K

12/9/17

The Bakers Dozen 5k and half marathon is a race like no other... it requires grit, will power, and... a hilarious costume and a sweet tooth. no pressure. 5k loop coarse 

I had told my friend Jeff winger, we needed to run a marathon this year. He was not able to get off work for the one in august so I had an ingenious plan. Turn the bakers dozen 5k/1/2 marathon into a full marathon. So on went the training. 

The day before I was playing around with an idea of turning the full marathon (26.2 miles) into an ultra marathon. An ultra marathon is any distance beyond a full marathon distance, which is typically 50k (31 miles) on up to 100+ miles.
