🌲 Race Course

This race will take you along the scenic trails of the Lewis and Clark Lake Recreation area. Runners travel on established, new paved trails that trek through wooded areas as they wind along the shores of Lewis and Clark Lake and Lake Yankton. There are spectacular views of the area and wildlife from the trails. The lake area is a winter haven for Bald Eagles. We do not think you will find a more beautiful race route to run!
