Sleeping Giant Loppet draws skiers of all ages and abilities.
The theme for this year’s 35th anniversary of the Sleeping Giant Loppet, March 3, is “a giant family and friends ski reunion.” To add to the fun, participants are invited to wear ski apparel from 1978. Sleeping Giant Loppet happens at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park as a mass participation cross-country ski festival. It draws skiers as young as 4 and as old as 86. Events include the family-oriented 8K mini loppet and the 20K, 35K and 50K (free and classic technique) events. A sprint event offering cash prizes takes place at Kamview Nordic Centre Thursday night before the Loppet. The Nordic Centre also offers free skiing on Friday before the Loppet and afterward on Sunday. www.lakesuperior.com/articles/341travelont
