The Spokane Nordic Loppet

Join the Spokane Nordic Ski Association for this long distance Nordic skiing event.

The ski loppet offers 20km, 30km, and 50km courses to choose from. Over the years, various skiers have introduced distance challenges or suggested routes, but little has been done to document them and their fastest known times. This year, Loppet participants can pick their own routes and challenge their friends. If you send us your route before the race, we will document your time and offer the most popular new routes as options at next year's race.
