What's a Loppet, you ask? It's the Scandinavian term for a long-distance cross-country ski event that can be either recreational or competitive.

50 km: 8:00 a.m.
Custom: 8:30 a.m.
30 km: 9:00 a.m.
20 km: 9:30 a.m.

Standard Courses
The standard course is made up of a 20k loop and a 10k loop. They are groomed for both classic and skate. 30k distance skiers will start with the 20k loop and finish with the 10k loop. 50k distance skiers will repeat the 20k loop and finish with the 10k loop. The aid station will be at Junction 7. If doing the 50k, you can come into the Selkirk Lodge to switch skis between loops (although it will add an extra kilometer to your distance).

Create Your Own Route
Over the years, various skiers have introduced distance challenges or suggested routes, but little has been done to document them and their fastest known times. This year, Loppet participants can pick their own routes and challenge their friends. If you send us your route before the race, we will document your time and offer the most popular new routes as options at next year's race. Just email your planned route to info@spokanenordic.org.
