Loppet Like It's Hot! (But it won't be) The Lake Placid Loppet is a celebration of cross-country skiing for all ages and abilities.
Distances
The Loppet race course will consist of a 25 km loop starting and finishing in the new cross country stadium, and traversing the 1980 Olympic Legacy Trails. This is one of the most demanding Loppet courses in the world using most of the infamous climbs and descents used for the Olympic 50 km course. The Loppet course will be marked in red.
Challenge courses consist of a single loop that traverses less hilly terrain than the Loppet. The 3 km course will be marked in green, the 7.5 km course will be marked in blue, the 15 km course will be marked in green.
