Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet

The Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ Loopet Loppet is a unique running and walking event held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, celebrating the Dakota people, land, and traditions along Ȟaȟá Wakpádaŋ (Bassett Creek). Participants can choose from 6-hour or 12-hour solo or relay events, completing as many 5-mile loops as possible. The event also features a 1 Loop Fun Run/Walk and a Little Loopet for kids.

All activities start and finish at The Trailhead in Theodore Wirth Park, where an Indigenous People’s festival offers Native vendors, artists, storytellers, and cultural experiences. The event emphasizes connection to the earth and Indigenous heritage through education, games, and traditional foods. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
