Baker Trail UltraChallenge
The Baker Trail UltraChallenge is a 50 mile ultramarathon on the Baker Trail, held in Vowinckel and finishing in Brookville, PA. The 2026 event covers the northern section of the 134 mile Baker Trail and follows a scenic point to point course that finishes at the Brookville Evangelical Methodist Church. The course includes about 6,200 feet of climbing, deep forest, single track that overlaps the North Country Trail, and sections through Cook Forest.
The Brookville Evangelical Methodist Church at 30 White Street serves as basecamp and hosts participant check in, a pre race dinner, camping with porta johns, shuttle service to the start, drop bag collection, parking, the finish line, and a post race picnic. Participant check in is offered on the evening before the race and on race morning.
Individuals and relay teams of up to five members may register. Finishers receive a piece of a three piece medal for each section completed; completing all three sections earns a commemorative holder. The race emphasizes route finding because yellow blazes mark the trail and some sections follow dirt or paved roads with narrow shoulders. Free training runs are offered to the public on July 24, July 26, and August 8 to help runners learn the course.
