About
The Baker Trail UltraChallenge is a 50-mile ultramarathon held on the scenic Baker Trail. This year, participants will navigate the Southern section of the trail, offering a new experience for returning runners. Finishers completing the course within a fourteen-hour limit earn a segment of a unique three-piece medal. Completing the full series across different sections rewards participants with a special display holder for these medals. Whether running individually or as part of a relay team, this challenging race offers a compelling reason for both new and returning runners to tackle all segments. Completing the entire series showcases dedication and perseverance, as participants collect each medal piece and ultimately the commemorative holder.
