Baker Lake Classic 25k

Event overview

The Baker Lake Classic 25k takes place on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at Kulshan Campground near Baker Lake, Washington. The point-to-point trail run covers approximately 15.6 miles (25 kilometers) along the east side of Baker Lake in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The event began in 2015. Entry fee information and registration deadlines are published by the organizer; a race shirt is offered for an additional fee.

Course and logistics

The course begins at the north end of Baker Lake Road and follows Trail #606 (about 0.6 miles) and Trail #610 (about 13.3 miles), finishing with roughly 1.6 miles on Baker Dam Road to the Upper Baker Dam and Kulshan Campground. The route is mostly single-track with rolling rises and descents, several footbridges, a suspension bridge on the north end, creek crossings and a large log crossing at Anderson Creek with a cable. Total elevation change is about 3,400 feet. Transportation is provided from the Kulshan Campground to the start; participants who park at the north lot need a forest service pass and must arrange return transport. Two on-trail aid stations provide water only; the start and finish areas offer additional snacks, beverages and facilities. Drop bags left at the start are transported to the finish and placed on a tarp. Camping at Kulshan Campground is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
