Inaugural Wool E. Bull's Baste Race Announced

The Durham Bulls announced today plans for the inaugural Wool E. Bull’s Baste Race, a virtual race featuring a One-Mile Fun Run and 5K, presented by PNC Bank. Two race distances allow for people of all ages and abilities to participate, while the virtual format means individuals anywhere can join the greatest mascot in the world for a fun-filled Thanksgiving race they’ll never forget.

Registration for the Thanksgiving-themed virtual race is now open and runs through Sat., Oct. 31. Participants will have one week — Nov. 23 to Nov. 29 — to complete the race. They will receive a race medal, race bib and performance t-shirt, as well as a downloadable finisher’s certificate once race results are uploaded.

“As we prepare for a Thanksgiving holiday that will be unlike any other, PNC looks forward to helping the Durham Bulls bring this virtual event to friends and fans everywhere,” said Jim Hansen, PNC regional president for Eastern Carolinas. “We are pleased to join Wool E. Bull for this race, which celebrates community, family togetherness and good health.”

Participants may select from one of two distances for their virtual race:

• One-Mile Fun Run: For $25, runners will receive a race medal, race bib and performance t-shirt, as well as a downloadable finisher’s certificate once race results are uploaded. The One-Mile Fun Run is the perfect distance for children wishing to participate in Wool E. Bull’s Baste Race.
• 5K: For $40, runners will receive a race medal, race bib and performance t-shirt, as well as a downloadable finisher’s certificate once race results are uploaded. For an additional $10, runners can add a ticket voucher that may be redeemed for a 2021 Durham Bulls home game.

Registration is open through Oct. 31. Packet pick-up for local participants will be available at the Ballpark Corner Store beginning Nov. 16. Race packets will be shipped to those who select a shipping option beginning Nov. 16. Click here for more information or to register.
