Trail Loppet
The Utepils Trail Loppet is a popular urban trail running event held in Theodore Wirth Park, Minneapolis's largest regional park. It offers three race distances: a half marathon, a 10K (half of a half marathon), and a 5K, providing a rugged trail running experience through diverse terrain including paved, ski, and singletrack trails. The course features hilly sections in areas like Eloise Butler and Quaking Bog.
The event starts at the Trailhead and finishes at Utepils Brewing, where participants enjoy music and a complimentary Utepils drink. The weekend also includes a family-friendly Loppet Field Day with activities for kids. Aid stations, live athlete tracking, and shuttle services enhance the race experience.
