All trails will be groomed for skating and classic skiing. Checkpoints are located every four to nine kilometers and have radio contact, first aid, toilets, beverages, food, a campfire and friendly volunteers. There will be awards for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place skiers in each age category and event, except for the Jackrabbit Glide, which provides an award for each young skier.

• 77 km Kupesewin and Sasquatch: head off for two days of adventure on Friday, spend the night on the Summit, then ski back to La Ronge for a hero’s welcome. Note the requirements for this event.

• 55 km Enduro: go the distance to the Don Allen Trails for a ski through Stonehenge and to catch the view from the Summit.

• 35 km Raven’s Tradition: Test yourself on the moderately challenging section of the Saskaloppet Trails, with ravens as your guide.

• 20 km Challenge: Anticipate a relaxing day or test your stamina and speed.

• 13 km Precambrian Passage: Novice loppeters or those out for a shorter day will enjoy this tour through the boreal forest.

• 8 km Jackrabbit Guide: Even the youngest skiers can take part in the fun and excitement of the Saskaloppet with our mascot, Ragnar the Raven. Hot dogs and drinks at the halfway mark make a nice break for the young champions and their chaperones.
