Description
The City of Lakes Loppet is a cross country ski event featuring the beautiful lakes and trails of Minneapolis and Wirth park. Please consider volunteering for this wonderful winter event. The Loppet has events and activites for skiers of all ages and abilities. There is a skijoring Loppet for skiers and their dogs. Kids events for toddlers through high schoolers and races for all abilities. One of the highlights of the weekend is the Luminary Loppet, a candlelit night ski/snowshoe on Lake of the Isles. This is the tenth year of the City of Lakes Loppet. It is always held the first weekend in February. This year is February 4-5, 2012. We expect about 10,000 skiers in participate in the various events. You do not need to be a nordic skier to volunteer, there are myriad opportunities both inside and out. You will have a great time volunteering for this event!
