New - Hoigaard's Nordic Walk

This is an opportunity to explore the trails of Theodore Wirth Park without all the competition . . . The Nordic Walk is a non-competitive, un-timed walk or jog.

Bike, walk, bus or run to the Trail Loppet and receive a free brat
To encourage participants to think about driving alternatives – and because with big registration numbers parking will be limited – the City of Lakes Nordic Ski Foundation is rewarding individuals that find alternative means of commuting to the Trail Loppet.

2007 Trail Loppet recap
Over 160 runners gathered for the second annual City of Lakes Trail Day. It was a beautiful fall day in Theodore Wirth Park and, despite a storm that had taken numerous large trees down on the Thursday before the event, the run went off without any big hitches.
