My running friend and I are elementary school teachers. Since we were both off of work due to Fall Break (MEA), we decided to forgo our regular running route to visit a local monument. Neither of us had ever been to Camp Release, so we decided to make that our running destination. Camp Release is a state monument that commemorates the release of 269 captives held during the US-Dakota war of 1862. It is on the Minnesota State Registry. You can read more about Camp Release here. Camp Release was approximately 2.5 miles from our starting point and very near the golf course. On our way past the golf course, I told my friend about "The Hill" that the cross country runners conquered just days days before. We decided to give it a try. This picture does not capture the difficulty of this hill. It was a fun challenge and I am positive that our trek up that hill was not as graceful as the cross country runners.
Our run ended up to be six miles. If your running is getting mundane, try choosing a new destination. Happy Running! -Stephanie
