Saskaloppet 2016

 La Ronge Don Allen Saskaloppet (Friday, March 4 & Saturday, March 5): 

Although this past summer’s forest fires have caused the Saskaloppet to move to the Don Allen Trails for this year, the distances will be similar to other years.  The two-day, overnight camping Kupesewin events will start on Friday, March 4.  Kupesewin skiers will have a choice between the 45-km Kupesewin Lite, the 75-km Kupesewin Marathon and the 75-km Kupesewin Sasquatch (where skiers carry all their camping gear).  Other Saskaloppet events will start Saturday, March 5 at 10:00 a.m. in a mass start.  They will include 3-km, 10-km, 20-km, 30-km and 45-km events.
