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.

Low-pet Law-pet Challenge Events:
- 5K & 10K Ski Freestyle (classic track will be groomed on snowmaking trail section and on the natural snow trails if conditions allow)

- Kids 3K & 1K Freestyle Ski (skate or classic) all on snowmaking trails, classic track on right. Suggested for kids under 12 years old

A Word on Bikes:
