We see a take up in participation numbers in NB trail races which is a joyful thing.

Another 3 more times Dutch Viking Events is hosting a trail running event and we would like to see that increase continue. Apart from fun and challenging events, there will be swag and snacks/food, pleasant volunteers (if not, whip 'em!) and hopefully decent weather.

Have a look at what's on offer this summer and fall:

In 7 weeks' time the Woolastook Whopping 2024 is just over and we still haven't decided on swag. Maybe Borat's mankini (with WW logo of course) might be an idea?😆

Okay maybe not, but rest assured that we'll get you something nice and useful.

In the meantime we are at 97 participants and it would be a nice birthday weekend gift to get to 100 today. Only 150 spots available in total, so bring it on!🧡

You have waited since Sunday morning, but here they finally are: the results of The 2024 DARK 50!

All the pics I have (received) from the DARK 50.

If you made some good ones you'd like to share send them to me.

03/06/2024

I don't know about you but I still haven't fully caught up with sleep. However, I wouldn't want to deprive you of some pics so here's the first photo album; this one is of the awards.

All top 3 placements received a bottle of alcohol from Black Galley Distilling and a bottle or a belt bag from lululemon Fredericton.

50K results
Men
1. Philippe Belanger
2. Corey Ross
3. Eric Burgess

Women
1. Meghan Duffy
2. Schelly MacKinnon
3. Kourtney Graham-Rice

50K relay
1. Sam & Nat Couture
1. Adam Fearnall & Kelsey Hogan (same time as Sam and Nat)
3. Scott Rawlins & Troy Sandwith

James Hoyt and Rick Stairs got a little reward for finishing last in the relay.

We were blessed with good, dry weather but for those not running the whole time it was pretty chilly. Hopefully the breakfast and a short nap got you revived somewhat for the drive home.

More posts in the days to come.

The wife is set up for the night at the Tiny Trails campground in Minto. This is where you can pick up your stuff from 8pm till 9.45pm.

Start of the race is 1 km away at the end of the New England Road. This is a car free zone where you can pitch your stuff.

Put my cell number in yours please: 506-897-0051.

See you tonight.

At 10am today Transfers are closed and we will be making our final race preparations.

We are very much looking forward to the 2024 DARK 50!

Make sure to bring something bug repellant, headlamps and a sleeping bag or blanket: it is cold at night.

See you all tomorrow night between 8pm and 9.45pm at Tiny Trails campground in Minto.

Oh, and you are not allowed to trip anyone. 😉

Latest supporter of the DARK 50 is Black Galley Distilling. They are located in Hanwell and they have a wide variety of alcoholic fun.

Check them out: https://www.blackgalleydistilling.ca/

Thank you Black Galley Distilling for adding to the success of this event!

Our email to be sent out to the participants is ready to go, but since there is still some activity on the Transfer front we'll wait a couple more hours before sending it out.

29/05/2024

Picked up awards from lululemon; thank you for supporting the DARK 50.

All participants will receive an email about the event tomorrow, so check your spam folder tomorrow night if you haven't received anything by then.

lululemon will also be supporting the Woolastook Whopping 2024 by means of an official waterstop in the woods. 😊

DARK 50 TRANSFERS

If you want to sell your registration or want to get into the race, please post below.

You have till Friday 10am to finalize transfers!

About a week and a half to go till the DARK 50 is upon us!

If you have not yet booked a campsite at Tiny Trails I recommend that you do, because when you are done with your race there are still some hours to go before breakfast will be served and awards will be presented.

We advise everyone to get some sleep in and not drive home immediately after the race: breakfast is definitely worth it and the road from Minto back in the dark is not recommendable, especially after running 50K. 😉

When you book your campsite use this discount code: 2024DARK50.

All participants will receive an email with all the (latest) info about the event a few days before race weekend.

little over 2 months to go till we have our hot party at Woolastook! 🥵
80 people have signed up so far, but we usually sell out, so if you do not want to miss out, give yourself the gift of a day of hard running, good food and some sweat and possible tears.

It is an exciting thing to upload results for the UTMB Index for the first time.

If you finished your 25K or50K at the Hanwell Hammering last week, you will have a UTMB Index by the end of the week, if you did not already have one. 😉

11/05/2024

I only just found out that this year we are celebrating the 5th Woolastook Whopping 2024, so we better get you some decent swag. 😉

So come on, jump off the fence and sign up for hours of fun and sweat. It's always worth it!

Participants for Woolastook Whopping on July 27, 2024 in Upper Kingsclear NB

There are currently 2 people (that I know of) who would like to transfer their bib.

this would be a good opportunity to grab a buddy and sign up as a team, so each of you 'only' has to do 25K.

Swag, coffee/tea and breakfast included. 😉

Post something below and we can get you started.
Obviously 2 people doing 50K each would also work.
