Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet 2026
Advertisement
We’re celebrating Dakota people, land, and traditions along Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ, the Dakota name for Bassett Creek.
Join the Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet and run or walk a 6-hour or 12-hour experience that connects you with the earth in new ways. Come solo or as a team of 4 to run or walk as many 5-mile loops as possible.
We’ll also have the Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ 1 Loop Fun Run/Walk and the Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Little Loopet for kids to walk, run, and romp!
All events will start and finish at the Trailhead. Partners 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):
