Inokuma, Knopp win Lost Lake Run

Palmer’s Meg Inokuma and Anchorage’s Tracen Knopp won the Lost Lake Run on Saturday just outside of Seward. The run uses the Lost Lake Trail and is just over 15 miles long with about 2,500 feet of vertical gain and loss.

Inokuma, who lived on the central Kenai Peninsula in the summers of 2014 through 2016, defended her 2021 title by finishing at 1 hour, 57 minutes and 34 seconds, with Anchorage’s Krista Inscho in second at 2:12:40. Anchorage’s Julianne Dickerson, who was born and raised in Kenai and won Lost Lake in 2018, finished sixth in 2:18:21.

Knopp wrapped up his first Lost Lake title by finishing at 1:38:57. Kenai’s Jason Parks was third at 1:48:56, while Seward’s Levi DeBoard was eighth at 1:57:49.

The women had 348 finishers, while the men had 213.
