The Muskoka Loppet at Arrowhead Provincial Park

On the 3rd weekend in January on Sunday enjoy a day of exercise with cross country skiing at Arrowhead Provincial Park in Huntsville.  There is a 15km, 30km and a 5km race for kids and social skiers.  There is also a Muskoka Shoe Snowshoe race for 3km, 9km and 9km relay.
To register visit http://www.arrowheadnordic.ca

This fun day attracts over 200 competitors each year.  The ages range from 5 - 70 years of age.  On the day of the race registration starts at 9:30am.  The event starts at 10:30am.
I take my kids to Arrowhead each year for a school race.  It is an amazing park that my kids love going to.  My family was introduced to skiing 1 year ago because Arrowhead Park offered a race for the local schools to compete it.  Now all 5 of us ski.
