We understand that we cannot fulfill our mission of connection and community without acknowledging and addressing the many barriers that exist for some members of our community\, especially our BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community. As an outdoor organization that is operating on stolen Dakota land in Minneapolis\, we recognize the importance of honoring both the land and the community in how we operate.  \nIn striving to fulfill our mission and values\, we reserve a number of reduced fee/free entries for those for whom the cost of participation is prohibitive. If you are interested in participating in a Loppet event and this applies to you\, we invite you to apply for financial assistance through the application linked below.  \nLOPPET EVENTS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION \nAs a way to recognize the Dakota land we run with and steward\, all Indigenous people can participate in any Loppet event for free by emailing events@loppet.org and requesting a discount code. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Can I change my race distance or transfer my entry to a friend?\n				\nThe deadline to make race distance changes is 4:00pm on the Friday a week before the race. After that\, a registrant wishing to change to a shorter distance will need to register and pay the full fee for the new race distance.\nYou can change which event you registered for through RunSignUp. Click here for a video on how to switch your registration and instructions to help with troubleshooting. Event transfers can be made up until 11:59 p.m. on May 13.\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What does my entry fee go towards?\n				Entry fees go towards the production of the event and The Loppet mission of connecting people to the outdoors through experiences that grow community! \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				When will the participant guide be published?\n				Typically we send it out to registered participants and post it on the event website about 1 week ahead of the event.  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Are there any special group discounts?\n				Email events@loppet.org if you’re part of a run club to see if there’s a way for us to partner with each other. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Are dogs allowed at this event?\n				While we love your furry friends please leave them at home for these large Loppet events. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Are strollers allowed?\n				The Juneteenth Fun Run is fully on pavement and is our stroller friendly course.  All other event courses are not conducive to strollers (CityTrail Loppet\, Utepils Trail Loppet\, City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival\, Luminary Loppet).  Spectators are welcome to have strollers around the venue though. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Who do I contact about the race if I have a question?\n				\nThe Loppet Foundation1301 Theodore Wirth ParkwayMinneapolis\, MN 55422events@loppet.org612-604-5330\nRegistration: registration@loppet.org\nSponsorship: sponsorship@loppet.org\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				I have special accessibility requirements\, who can I talk to about this?\n				Reach out to events@loppet.org and we can talk about how we can support you. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Do people ever take walking breaks during the race?\n				Yes!
