CityTrail Loppet

Annual urban trail adventure with the epic finish at the Sculpture Garden! Join us on Sunday, May 17, 2026! Three distances to choose from – 5K, 10K and 10 Mile. All finish together at the Sculpture Garden. The 5K is a great option for those that want a shorter distance or want to walk/hike the course! Participants can look forward to:

• A unique urban adventure trail run with a mix of ski trail, singletrack and asphalt.
• A distance for everyone: 10 Mile for those who are ready to go long (not as hilly as Trail Loppet), 10K with all the trails and a taste of tough, and a fairly flat but adventurous 5K for anyone (speedy folks and walkers alike are welcome!).
• Start at the community-hub Trailhead (the 5K start is a short walk away at Hwy 55) in Wirth Park and finish right at the Sculpture Garden with the famous Cherry and Spoon (and the Purple Chicken if that is your favorite .. or is it blue?)
• A free Pryes Brewing beer at the finish (21+) or N/A drinks.
• Finish line munchie food.
• Start line bag drop service for all races!
• Finish line tunes
• Live athlete tracking & results through the Mtec Results app
• Register before May 1st and get a special event tee shirt!

Ready to test your limits? The CityTrail Loppet brings a highly anticipated 16.1K, 10K, 5K to Minneapolis on May 17, 2026. Expect a fantastic route right in the heart of Minnesota.
