The 12th Edition of the Wooly Bully Races will be held on Sunday, August 18th, 2024 at the farm of Dave Willard, 600 South Shore Road on Amherst Island. This year, the 10k/5K races will start simultaneously 10:00 a.m., preceded by the 1K Kids Run at 9:40 a.m. Chip timing will be provided by Sportstats Race Timing Services.

Please note that the ferry over to Amherst Island runs on the half hour from the Millhaven dock on Highway 33 just east of Bath, Ontario. The 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. ferries will get you to the race in plenty of time. The 9:30 a.m. ferry will not get participants to the race in time. The ferry leaves from the Stella dock on the hour. Car pooling is encouraged.

Thinking of taking your bicycle across on the ferry? The Race start is a 7.5km distance from the Ferry Dock Island Side North Shore.

The official charity of the ‘Wooly Bully Races’ is the Neilson Store Museum and Cultural Centre, located in the village of Stella on Amherst Island.
