The Course This is an out and back 31.5 mile trail run along scenic Baker Lake near Concrete, Washington. The race starts on a paved road at the Kulshan Campground (owned and operated by Puget Sound Energy). After a little over 1/2 mile, runners cross the Upper Baker Dam and then the road changes from pavement to gravel. At 1.75 miles, runners start on the Baker Lake East Bank Trail. The trail continues for 14 miles. A half-mile before the turnaround, runners will come to a suspension bridge over the Baker River. Runners will then head south for the final half-mile before the turnaround. At the turnaround, there will be an aid station and drop bags. Runners must have their race numbers recorded at this time by aid personnel. The return trip follows the same trail and road but in reverse order. Be prepared to pass fellow runners as they head towards the turnaround. The finish line will be at the same location as the start. Click here for course map. The course is easy to follow and will be well marked. Crew members are not allowed on the trail; however, they can meet their runner at the turnaround. Click here for crew driving directions to the turnaround. Crew members found on the trail will cause their runner to be disqualified. Drop bags will be taken to the turnaround point. They will be returned to the Start/Finish at 12:30 pm. Course Best Times
