Is it Low-pet or Law-pet? We invite you to pick a side to race with for how you pronounce Loppet! The Low-pet Law-pet Challenge, formerly known as Pre-Loppet, this event includes both ski races and fat bike events. With all races starting and ending in the lower Stadium, athletes will get a great tune up race before the City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival. Ski races will be a 5K and 10K skate options and fat bike will be around a 15K option. We’ll see which team takes the trophy this year by scoring each team’s average time to settle it once and for all – are you team Low-pet? Or are you team Law-pet?
And don’t forget about the kids ski events – 3K, 1K! Also offered is a Sit Ski option of 500 meters!
I double dog dare you to do both the 10K ski AND the 15K fat bike! If you’re up of the Double Dare Challenge register for both events for discounted pricing.
