Baker Trail Ultrachallenge

Website

The Baker Trail UltraChallenge is a 50-mile ultramarathon held in Western Pennsylvania along the scenic Baker Trail. The 2025 race covers the Southern section, starting in Godfrey, PA, and finishing at a historic farmhouse basecamp in Smicksburg, PA. The course features a challenging mix of single-track trails, dirt roads, rail trails, and paved roads through Amish farmland, with 7,800 feet of elevation gain.

Runners must complete the race within 14 hours, either individually or as part of a relay team. Unique to this event is a three-piece medal series awarded for completing each section of the trail, with a commemorative holder for finishing all three. The event emphasizes safety, mental focus, and inclusivity, with gender equity policies and free training runs offered before race day.
