2026 Wooly Bully Races

The 15th Edition of the Wooly Bully Races will be held on Sunday, August 16th, 2026.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN

The races have moved to a new site, located on the South Shore Road, west of the Stella 40 Foot Road, at the residence of Reta Brown. The site is very suitable to host the event, including parking.

Instead of starting running from east to west along the South Shore Road, the new route will take runners west to east and back. The same scenic route along Lake Ontario will remain. The race site is now closer to Stella, approximately 4 kilometres from the ferry dock.

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. Updates will be provided closer to the race date on this website and the Wooly Bully Facebook page with travel options for race day.

Thinking of taking your bicycle across on the ferry? The Race start is a 4 km distance from the Ferry Dock in Stella to the race site.

The annual Wooly Bully races are the main source of support and funding for the Neilson Store Museum. We are happy to help promote this event and appreciate the support of all the volunteers and participants.

Deadline to purchase a race t-shirt is July 29th and can be purchased during the online registration process.
