Saturday, February 17, 2024, 10:00 a.m.- 2:30 p.m.
Live Coverage hosted by local Itascatur Outdoor Activity Club
Clancy’s / Vacationaire Resort

Cross Country ski enthusiasts of all levels and interests and the general public, are invited to join the Itascatur Outdoor Activity Club of Park Rapids, MN for a social event watching live coverage of the fastest XC skiers in the world as they race here in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Stifel World Cup Loppet the Watch Party starts at 10 a.m. ending at 2:30 p.m.

This event will be held indoors at Clancy’s/Vacationaire Resort, located 9.5 miles north of Park Rapids-just a mile from the Soaring Eagle XC ski trails.

If we have snow at that time, you can go for a ski, then come watch some racing, and go back to ski. Repeat at your pleasure. Food, drinks and other beverages available, also games, free prize drawings, videos of Minnesota’s own Olympic ski champion Jessie Diggins and others.

This is going to be a big deal! If not a once in a lifetime opportunity, then the races in Minneapolis will be at least a once in a generation chance to experience a FIS COOP Cross Country World Cup ski race in our own country! This is the first time in over twenty years that a World Cup XC race has been held in the US.

Directions from Park Rapids: Head north on Highway 71 for 8.9 miles. Turn right onto County Road 89, and travel for 0.6 miles. Turn left onto Icon Drive, and enter the parking lot for Clancy’s/Vacationaire.
