The In Yan Teopa Trail Race is named after a limestone arch on the bluff above Lake Pepin, a rock with an opening worn straight through it that was sacred to the Dakota long before it was a race. I wrote about what that name means, why the climbs are worth it, and why this overlooked park three hours south of the North Shore is one of my favorite places to run.
Five and ten-mile options. Saturday, September 26, at Frontenac State Park. Registration is open now.
