Event Description

PLEASE NOTE: The Family option is good for 2 – 4 registrations in the Self-Timed Race ONLY. All persons must be immediate family members living in the same household and must all register on the same transaction to receive the special pricing.

Get out in the woods and on the trails at least one more time this fall! The Turkey Traverse 5K Walk/Run will follow much of the same course as our snowmaking ski trails with perhaps a few of our signature Loppet deviations here and there in interesting places. The course will be marked (blue arrows, blue tape, wrong way signs) for all three days.

Participants will have the option of running both a timed race (on Saturday) as well as a self-timed option Friday through Sunday. For the self-timed race option, you will need to sign up in advance for a start time, but you may traverse the course as many times as you like within the three days, choosing a start time from our schedule each time.

All are welcome! Join us whether you are a walker or runner, turkey eater or non-turkey eater, mellow or serious. In other words, we love it no matter what your motivation is to get some late fall sun (or whatever weather Minnesota wants to dish up).

As always, all proceeds support the Loppet’s mission of creating a shared passion for year-round outdoor adventure in the Minneapolis area, focusing on underserved youth and families. For example, check out our Minne-Loppet Youth Adventure Programs.
