Part of the City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival
Sunday, February 6: 10:00am
3000 East, W Bde Maka Ska Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN 55408
This 20K point-to-point ski event is a truly unique cross-country skiing experience. The Ray of Light Skate Ski Puoli Loppet takes skiers over the parkways and through the woods to a grand finish in front of The Trailhead in Theodore Wirth Park. This event follows the course of the other big events, but skips most of the hardest hills.
Skiers of all ages and abilities will be challenged and thrilled by this beautiful urban course. Go for your best time, or simply enjoy this unique ski experience that features an incredible mix of urban skiing and wooded natural trails.
New this year, participants can choose our Open Course Format, where skiers can complete the marked course on their own time (by themselves or with friends) without the crowds, mass starts, or competition structure.
