The Running for the Boundary Waters project highlights 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 who are also environmental advocates are using their running as a public awareness tool for issues they care about.
