Growing from a once humble cross-country ski race in 2003, the City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival has come to be the staple event of winter in the North.
The City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival is a two-day festival that includes a variety of point-to-point Cross-Country Ski, Fat-Tire Bike, Skijor, and Snowshoe, and a number of unique events, such as the Captain Ken’s Kubb Tournament – plus much more!
