Some call it a plunge. Others call it a dip. Molly Leutz and Sally Morgan take a polar dip through the ice on Lake Harriet almost daily during the winter months. The Minneapolis ladies explain why they partake in this ancient Nordic tradition and offer some very practical tips for beginners. After this interview, Jodi tried it… and is now hooked.

First things first. How do you pronounce “Loppet”?! The Loppet Foundation’s Executive Director, Claire Wilson, gives us the official answer.

Claire talks about the organization’s mission to get kids and adults outside. From youth programs at Theodore Wirth Park to community events like the Luminary Loppet to training for Olympic-hopefuls, they’ve brought it all here to Minneapolis. Claire is also a badass in her own right, which we happily discuss. Enjoy the episode and support The Loppet!
