Close to 250 participants ran or walked in the 33rd Annual
Tofte Trek 10K run/walk today, July 4th. Chase Matush (aka Adam Swank)from
Duluth led the field with a time of 38:52. The first woman to cross
the finish line was Kaelyn Williams of Golden Valley, MN. Conditions
for the trek were favorable with east winds off of Lake Superior, keeping
temperatures in the low 70s. Runners traditionally enjoy the hilly course
and mud puddles, having to hose themselves off at the finish line. The
Tofte Trek is a long-standing tradition started by avid skier Jan Horak
of Tofte.
