In addition\, standing and VI athlete results will also be integrated into the overall results. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Will there be a Whatsapp group for participants\, parents\, coaches\, spectators\, etc?\n				Yes!  About a week out from the event there will be a Whatsapp link emailed to registered participants and posted on this website for all event attendees to join for the most up to date information. \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				What is the LOC and who is on the Loppet's LOC?\n				LOC stands for Local Organizing Committee.  It is required by US Ski & Snowboard that each sanctioned race has a local team of individuals committee to producing the event at the highest standards.  For information on joining the Loppet’s LOC please contact Race Director\, Kelly Donahue at events@loppet.org  \nI might be bias\, but the Loppet has one of the best LOC’s around!  The LOC volunteers are the ones who really championed the effort to bring a World Cup to Minneapolis in 2020/2024. \n2026 Loppet LOC Leadership: \n\nLOC Co-Chairs – Kelly Donahue & Bill Smeaton\nCompetition Lead – Doug Debold\nRace Secretary & Admin – Amy Chichanowski\nInfrastructure Lead – Nick Swanson\nVolunteer Lead – Tracy Edwardsen\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Who do I contact about the race if I have a question?\n				For general event questions or questions about the Loppet and volunteering contact\, events@loppet.org \nFor questions about the CXC Adaptive/Youth/Junior cup\, please contact CXC at info@cxcskiing.org or call (608) 294-0433. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What are some of the benefits for kids who participate in FIS sanctioned races?\n				They get to race at a higher level of competition that they might not get through their high school program.  For kids that don’t have nordic skiing at their high school\, these races are great for them to participate in for some fantastic race experiences that surrounds them with other kids. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What does it mean to have a US Ski & Snowboard licenses?\n				You can learn more here \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				I’m a spectator\, where should I watch or what do I need to know?\n				\nCheck the course and transportation sections of the website for details\nLoud cheering\, fun signs\, cowbells\, noise makers\, music are all highly encouraged.  Please keep cheers and signs positive and respectful. \nFood & beverages are available for purchase inside the Trailhead (best to bring your credit card!)\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What is a Junior Qualifier?
