Gatineau Loppet Challenge
The Gatineau Loppet Challenge is back! This challenge is for all brave and experienced skiers!
The men's version is for competitors who complete both the skate and classic versions of the 53km event. For women, the event will include both the skate and classic versions of either the 29km or 53km event. All competitors must complete the same distance on both days (either both 29km events, or both 53km events). All those who complete both races (classic and skate 53kms for men and women, classic and skate 29 kms for women) will receive a pin to celebrate their accomplishment.
