Come solo or as a team of 4 to run or walk as many 5-mile loops as possible. \nWe’ll also have a Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Little Loopet for kids to walk\, run\, and romp! \nThe Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ 1 Loop Fun Run/Walk! This untimed event is perfect for running or walking along the creek\, either solo or with friends. \nPartners will be on-site to help us practice saying Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ\, the creek’s Dakota name that loosely translates as “Falls Creek.” You can learn more in this 2-minute YouTube video\, “How to Pronounce Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ\,” by filmmaker Tiana LaPointe (Sicangu Lakota). \nFor more Native viewpoints about the West Metro\, please enjoy the Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ / Bassett Creek Oral History Podcast. It’s available on Spotify\, YouTube\, or wherever you get your podcasts. By sharing these stories widely\, this event aims to help to reframe the suburbs as Indigenous places and amplify contemporary Native voices. \nMany thanks to our close collaborators\, including Cultural Advisors Darlene St. Clair (Dakota)\, Jim Rock (Dakota)\, Roxanne Gould (Anishinaabe)\, and Bradley Blackhawk (Ho-Chunk).

All are welcome to participate in the 5K or half mile run. \nJuneteenth is a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans\, recognizing the two-and-a-half-year gap between the Emancipation Proclamation and freedom reaching all people. It is a time to honor history\, celebrate freedom\, and work toward a more just future. In partnership with community organizations\, the Loppet Foundation hosts the Annual Juneteenth Fun Run as part of its mission to connect people to the outdoors through inclusive\, year-round activities in Theodore Wirth Park\, providing skiing\, biking\, running\, and outdoor education opportunities for all ages and abilities\, including youth and neighboring communities. \nAbout 2026 Honoree: Vusumuzi Zulu\n \nMr. Vusumuzi Zulu is a revered storyteller\, cultural bearer\, and community activist whose life’s work has been dedicated to the principle of Kujichagulia—the Swahili concept of self-determination. For over four decades\, he has uplifted the power of African people to define themselves\, their history\, and their future through the transformative art of storytelling. \nA 2023 recipient of the McKnight Foundation Culture Bearers Fellowship\, Mr. Zulu embraces the responsibility of transmitting the values\, traditions\, and wisdom of African ancestors to future generations. Through his storytelling\, he channels both the ethos and pathos of the Black experience\, illuminating truth\, resilience\, and the enduring joy of Black identity. \nOriginally from St. Louis\, Missouri\, Mr. Zulu’s early life was shaped by constant movement and economic hardship. As he often reflects\, “we moved every time the rent was due—and we paid rent every two weeks.” These formative experiences deeply inform his storytelling\, grounding his narratives in lived reality while connecting them to broader historical and cultural themes. \nTogether with Ancestor Mother Nothando Zulu\, he co-founded the Black Storytellers Alliance in Minnesota. In 1991\, inspired by his first experience at the National Association of Black Storytellers (NABS) Festival and Conference\, he helped launch the now-renowned “Signifyin’ & Testifyin’” storytelling festival. For more than three decades\, the festival has brought together storytellers from across the globe\, captivating and educating tens of thousands through powerful oral traditions. \nThe Black Storytellers Alliance continues to be a vital partner in community-centered initiatives such as Stories of Connection\, serving as a grounding force that keeps communities connected to the true value of storytelling\, cultural preservation\, and shared history. \n2025 Honoree: Coach Mike “Talley” Tate \n2024 Honoree: Beverly Propes \n2023 Honorees: Bill & Beverly Cottman \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nGALLERY \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register\n \n \n \n \n \n 2026 registration will open on January 1\, 2026 at 9 a.m. \nWe want everyone to participate!

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 Is this a Trail Sisters approved race?\n \nYes!
