KANANASKIS SKI MARATHON (COOKIE RACE)
The Kananaskis Ski Marathon is a “loppet”, a cross-country ski race open to the public, emphasizing participation, personal challenge, camaraderie, sportsmanship, and fun. The competition takes place in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, one of Alberta’s finest cross-country ski trail systems, about a ninety-minute drive west of Calgary in Kananaskis Country. All competitors — over 500 of them –are treated to beverages and hot soup, and (most importantly!) plenty of home-made cookies — that’s why our loppet is called “the Cookie Race”!
