Race Information
The Loppet Foundation's most popular trail running event of the season, the Loppet Trail Run is a day of rugged, urban trail running in Minneapolis’s largest regional park.
The Half Marathon and Half-Half (10K) races in Theodore Wirth Park are the ultimate urban trail running experience, and all participants will be greeted after the race with music and a free beer (with a valid ID). The race also features a fun-filled day of both competitive and non-competitive events for all ages and abilities (a timed 5K trail run/walk, an untimed 1-mile & 0.5-mile trail run, and fun field activities).
