Group Run on the Baker Trail

Join Public Lands and RCTC for a 14-mile group run on the gorgeous northern section of the Baker Trail. We'll be on single-track trail in the deep woods. Most of our run will overlap with the North Country Trail. This run is free and open to the public. 

Logistics: 

• Meet at the Gravel Lick trailhead at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 19. This is the "end point" of our run. 
• We will leave some cars at the Gravel Lick location and carpool to our starting point, which is the Rt. 66 trailhead. 
• At 8:00 a.m. we will take attendance and a group picture. By 8:05 we should have started our run. 

Key points: 

• If you plan to attend the run you must RSVP;  click here to confirm your attendance.  (Once you RSVP, you'll be on the email distribution list and will receive last-minute information via email prior to the event) 
• We are running during hunting season. All participants should wear "safety orange" or some bright color.
• Cell phone reception is notoriously spotty. 
• Unlike the training runs we host in July, the October group run will not have aid stations. Plan to bring enough hydration and nutrition to last you the full 14 miles. 
• Registration for the August 29, 2026, Baker Ultra 50-mileris now open and can be found here: Baker Ultra Registration.  We are on the northern section in 2026, which means the miles we cover on the October 19 run are on the 2026 course.
