Back at our favorite spot, the Trailhead at Theodore Wirth Park we catch up with Executive Director of the Loppet Foundation, Claire Wilson. Updates from the foundation including an invitation to visit the Trailhead for tubing, cross country skiing and fat biking or to sip a hot beverage and play indoor games. But what you’re really looking for are the tips and tricks for experiencing the Luminary Loppet and City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival. Skijoring, Kubb, nordic ski races and a lake of luminaries all in the heart of Minneapolis. Find your snow pants- you’ve got Minnesota winter events to attend!

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!
