Bakers+Dozen



=__ Bakers Half-Dozen Time Trial __= // Attempt if you dare....... //

Come test your technical trail running abilities on this foothill gem! This 6ish mile route loops up, down, and all around the trails of Bakers Mountain Park. Don't let the quaintness of this little park full you! **This run is burly!!!!!**

Below is the map of the route and turn-by-turn directions. Don't let the amount of directions scare you off, it really isn't that hard to follow, but a preview of the route before your hard effort is suggested. I am really not sure on the exact mileage of this loop. I believe it to be near 6 miles, but it may be more or less. It sure feels like 6! Enjoy the map! Elevation gain is about 1600 ft!
