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.

Come check out our awesome merch in the adventure shop at the Trailhead or at the finish line. \n \n \n \n \n \n Is there a time limit?\n In keeping with our goal of offering a unique kubb experience while maintaining a competitive tournament for participants\, time restrictions are necessary to ensure the semifinal and final matches are played on time. Matches not completed by their designated ending times will be determined by the tiebreak rule. All Championship Bracket rounds will start at the designated times listed on the schedule even if both teams from the previous round have advanced. The purpose of this is to avoid excessive downtime for teams if one side of the bracket is getting too far ahead of the other. This will also allow teams finishing early to warm up between matches knowing when their next match will begin. \n \n \n \n \n \n What if there's a tie?\n The following explanation is to break a tie in the Round Robin stage to determine which two teams move on to the Championship Bracket if\, after all Round Robin matches are complete\, a tie exists between three or more teams. Note that the first tiebreak is not games won or head-to-head. \nExample:Teams A\, B\, and C will compete in a throw-off to determine which teams advance. \n\n\n\n\nTeam\nW\nL\n\n\nTeam A\n2\n1\n\n\nTeam B\n2\n1\n\n\nTeam C\n2\n1\n\n\nTeam D\n0\n3\n\n\n\n\nThrow-offA throw-off consists of each team throwing 6 shots from their base line trying to knock over as many kubbs as possible. The two teams knocking over the most kubbs will advance to the Championship Bracket. In this example\, if Team A knocks over 3 kubbs in the throw-off and Teams B and C both knock over 2 kubbs\, Team A will advance to the Championship Bracket as the group winner. Teams B and C would then throw again with the winner moving on to the Championship Bracket as the group runner-up. As is the case for match play\, no player may throw more than two batons during a throw-off. \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 Photos\n \n \n \n \n \n 2026:\n\nTodd Bauer Photos\n\n2025:\n\nKatie Heimer Photos\nAndrew Thibodeau Photos\n\n2023:\n\n2023 Kubb Photos\n\n2022:\n\n3/5/10K Skijor\, 10/20/3K Classic\, Kubb Tournament\, Orienteering\, 5K\, Sit Ski\, 1/2/3K Next Generation race\, 10K Skijor\, 10/20/37K Skate Ski\, 33K Fat Tire – Todd Bauer\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 Upcoming Loppet Events\n \n \n \n \n \n Join us for upcoming Loppet events!  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday\, October 3\, 2026 - 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Phyllis of the Forest Book Release EventThursday\, October 8\, 2026 - 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Loppet Community CelebrationSaturday\, October 17\, 2026 - 7:00 am - 7:00 pm Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet LoppetTuesday\, October 20\, 2026 - 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Run Your Pace\, Understand Your Base: Empowering Female Runners Through Pelvic Floor AwarenessMonday\, November 2\, 2026 - 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Roundtable: Snø Racing Program Update and Masters Racing DiscussionThursday\, November 12\, 2026 - 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Theodore Wirth – An inside look at the man\, the park\, and his legacyMonday\, November 16\, 2026 - 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm Heart Health and Endurance SportFriday\, December 4\, 2026 - 10:00 am - 2:00 pm Senior Social\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 Join the Community \n \n \n \n \n \n Support The Loppet Foundation\n \n \n \n \n \n The Loppet depends on our community to support our mission through donations\, membership and volunteering. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Donate\n \n \n \n \n \n Support our mission of connecting people to the outdoors through experiences that grow community. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Become a Member\n \n \n \n \n \n Membership at the Loppet directly supports our mission and gets you added benefits to enjoy! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Volunteer\n \n \n \n \n \n We depend on volunteers to ensure our programs and events offer the best experience.

There is a 500 meter cutoff option for the 1K skiers at the “Roundabout” if they need it (it avoids Jim’s Hill-not a big hill but enough to challenge some new skiers). Parents (no registration required) are welcome to join their 1K skiers on skis or foot-please just stay to the side or behind so other participants can easily pass).

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.

Hosted by the Minnesota Orienteering Club\, the Ski-Orienteering Loppet is a timed event in which participants navigate on skis using map and compass to find checkpoints located throughout Theodore Wirth Park. \nSki Orienteering adds an additional element of challenge to the traditional sport of orienteering. If you are primarily a skier\, you will add to your sport the challenge of finding efficient routes to a series of locations throughout the trail system as identified on a map. If you are primarily an orienteer\, you will have the added challenge of moving through the park on cross country skies to complete the course. When you have finished\, you will all be a ski-orienteer! \nTo best fit your experience and fitness\, the Ski-Orienteering Loppet offers two course choices at the time of registration. A medium/long course (approx. 8-10K) will challenge the participant with plenty of hills\, orienteering route choices\, and\, depending on snow conditions\, possibly route choices that may take you off of the groomed ski trails. A short (5-6K) course will be a bit more friendly to the beginner/intermediate skier/orienteer. The short course will be mostly on the groomed ski trails\, including a few hills up and down (with possible shortcuts off trail if so desired by the participants). \nThis event is open to either the classic or skate ski technique at the participant’s preference. \nParticipants will receive additional important race information on start location/details directly from the race and it will be posted here on the website. \nFor more information on the Minnesota Orienteering Club and to see a complete list of events for the season\, visit the MNOC website. \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 Register\n \n \n \n \n \n There is no on-site or race-day registration for the Ski-Orienteering Loppet.

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.
