Today is Give to the Max Day, Minnesota's single largest day of giving. This day is exciting and overwhelming in the best way possible and we have so many things to share with you about this year. This year was a year of growth. We changed our logo, evolved our mission and values to reflect who we have become, and celebrated 20 years in this community. We added new programs and events that express these shifts and The Trailhead has welcomed more community members than ever before. It’s been an exciting year and today we have the privilege of sharing these with you. We also have two exciting matches - one from the Loppet Board and one from the Caleb Fund at The Minneapolis Foundation - meaning that each donation will be tripled - $5 turning into $15, $20 into $60, $100 into $300, and on and on and on. We could not be more grateful. Happy Give to the Max Day. We can’t wait to celebrate this Adventure with you. Donate at https://lnkd.in/dzz-kk3 and have your gift tripled!

Connecting people to the outdoors through experiences that grow community.
About us
The Loppet Foundation is a non-profit organization that connects people to the outdoors through experiences that grow community. The organization operates the Twin Cities' most well known cross-country ski trails, in addition to hiking/running trails, mountain bike / fat-tire bike trails, a snow tubing hill, an alpine hill, and a frisbee golf course, all based out of The Trailhead in Theodore Wirth Park. The Loppet is widely known for organizing large-scale sporting events which have shaped cross-country skiing in both the Midwest and the United States. The 2018 Masters Cross Country Ski World Cup, 2011 and 2021 U.S. Junior Cross Country Ski Championships, 2020 FIS Cross Country World Cup, U.S. SuperTour races, 2019 and 2020 USA Winter Triathlon National Championships, and 2018 Super Bowl Live are some of the largest external events the organization has overseen. The Foundation also organizes 50 Loppet events each year, including the City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival which attracts over 13,000 participants annually. Focused programming in the Adventure Camp, Ski Camp, Minne-Loppet, and Junior Loppet programs have helped thousands of youth in North Minneapolis learn life-long outdoor skills and gain confidence in their abilities. The Loppet Run Club, Loppet Ultra Run Club, and Loppet Ski Club provide adults with the opportunity to gain group recreational experience in individual sports, while Loppet TRAIL KIDS is a stepping stone for children ages 7-13 into other more competitive programs. The year-round nationally-recognized competitive training programs for junior and adult racers include Loppet Run 365, Loppet Cycle Works, and Loppet Nordic Racing.
