Baker Lake 50k

About the event

Baker Lake Classic 25k occurs in a beautiful serene fall setting. Stands of giant old growth trees draped in lichen and covered in moss are some of the highlights along this trail. This trail leads into a majestic stand of douglas fir that regrew after Mt. Baker erupted and started a forest fire in 1843. You can still see the burned snags of the cedar trees that once dominated the area. From north to south, the trail contours the eastern shoreline of Baker Lake, offering glimpses of Mt. Baker. All along the trail spot western trillium, twinflower, foamflower, coralroot and twisted Stalk.Baker Lake Classic 25k was added because of high demand to run a point to point route from the north end of the lake to the south end of the lake. More information is listed on our website http://www.nwenduranceevents.com/baker/Since this is a point to point course runners will be bused to the start from the finish area. Please plan your schedule so you are at the buses EARLY. I would hate to see anyone miss out on running this great course because they were 5 minutes late for the bus.
