We were hopeful to kick off the WOW season with you this evening, but unfortunately due to ongoing rain and wet trails, tonight’s event has been cancelled. If this rain keeps up, we might just have to start a new event called Wirth On Wednesday: Canoe Edition.

If you were registered for tonight's races, our team will take care of moving your registration to the June 24th WOW, so you will automatically be on our start lists next week.

Thank you for your understanding. We can’t wait to finally hit the trails with you next Wednesday!

Get stronger with the Loppet this summer! 💪

With the first sessions just around the corner, our summer adult strength classes are filling up fast. Snag your spot and get excited to grow in your fitness journey these next few months!

The Adult Strength for Endurance Athletes program will primarily focus on building a solid base for nordic skiing, running, and other endurance sports by utilizing body weight movements, barbells, free weights, and plyometrics. Participants will learn to use correct technique for movements through hands-on instruction by our knowledgable coaches.

We were stoked to hit the trails with you tonight for Wirth on Wednesdays, but unfortunately due to wet trails, we will be postponing tonight’s event to next Wednesday, June 17th.

Those who were already registered for tonight’s (June 10th) races will automatically be registered for the June 17th races.

Thank you for your understanding! We can’t wait to ride with you next week.

Celebrate Juneteenth with us on Saturday, June 20th!

We'll have a kids 1/2 mile fun run for the young ones to show us what they've got, and a 5K for those who want to go a little farther. Plus, we'll be honoring local community member Vusumuzi Zulu - a revered storyteller, cultural bearer, and community activist whose life’s work has been dedicated to the principle of Kujichagulia—the Swahili concept of self-determination.

The first 300 participants to check in at packet pickup on race day receive our 2026 Juneteenth Fun Run shirt!

We want everyone to participate! Registration is a sliding scale from free to suggested donations to help cover costs and support the celebration of Juneteenth.
