Check back here for updates on Alex's run! He will be starting around 2 a.m. on Saturday, May 22. 


On May 22, Campaign Government Affairs Director Alex Falconer will be running the Boundary Waters Traverse - approximately 110 miles through the heart of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in a journey that will connect the Border Route (BRT) and Kekekabic (Kek) Trails in the first known attempt and running them both continuously. You can read trail reports from his previous BRT and Kekekabic Runs here:  BRT attempt 1, BRT finish, and Kekekabic Trail.

The Running for the Boundary Waters project is designed to highlight the issue of potential sulfide-ore copper mining proposals in the watershed of, and directly adjacent to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to the running community. Trail runners as a community lately have become environmental advocates, using their running as a public awareness tool for issues they care about.
