River Rat Run

River Rat Run is a multi-distance trail race in Yankton, near Lewis and Clark Lake. The event offers a half marathon, 10K, and 5K. Runners follow established, newly paved trails through wooded sections along the shores of Lewis and Clark Lake and Lake Yankton, with spectacular views and wildlife, including Bald Eagles in winter.

The route is described as one of the most beautiful race experiences in the area. It is chip-timed with video and backup timing, and finishing medals are awarded to all half marathon finishers, with shirts for runners, to raise funds for Yankton area organizations.
