Palmer’s Meg Inokuma and Anchorage’s Aaron Fletcher picked up victories at the Lost Lake Run on Saturday outside of Seward. The run uses the Lost Lake Trail and is just over 15 miles with about 2,500 feet of vertical gain and loss. Due to the Swan Lake Fire and the pandemic, it had been three years since the last in-person event.
Inokuma finished at 1 hour, 55 minutes and 26 seconds, while Klaire Rhodes of Anchorage was next at 2:01:51. Fletcher won at 1:37:24, while Seward’s Pyper Dixon was next at 1:47:27.
The peninsula had plenty of representation in both races.
