The Elkhorn Classic Stage Race
is a 3-day, 4-stage bicycle race in and around the Elkhorn Mountains located in Baker County, Oregon.
The race is headquartered at Baker High School in Baker City, making for racer-friendly logistics.
The scenic road stages are challenging and allow for strategic racing, but a no-time-cut policy means
that newer riders can focus on finishing. The spectator-friendly time trial and criterium create an
exciting atmosphere for participants, teams, and family. With quality fields from all over the
Western US and Canada, the Elkhorn Classic Stage Race, now in its ninth year, has established
itself as one of the premier stage races on the racing calendar.
