It’s almost #InternationalWomensDay and we want to use this moment to highlight a few events happening during the Fastenal Parallel 45 Winter Festival that will honor the incredible women that have set the foundation in Nordic Skiing and the up and coming young women that are the future of the sport.
.
Olympic Gold medalist Kikkan Randall and her past Olympic teammates in collaboration with Fast and Female will be participating in fun ski relays with girls ages 8-14. After that, they will head inside for a “Power Hour” talk on Sunday, March 15, about their experiences in the ski world and what it means to them to be Fast and Female. There are still spots available for these events so be sure to sign up today at Loppet.org/FastAndFemale.
.
On Monday, March 16, the U.S. Nordic Olympic Women (the 50 former skiers who have competed in the Olympics in Cross Country Skiing for the U.S.) will be honored at the Champions Dinner + Benefit. You will learn about how those women set the course for the historic moments that have happened in U.S. skiing in recent years. There are still spots available for this gourmet dinner and presentation at Loppet.org/Spectate.
.
Lastly, be sure you have your ticket (mnworldcup.com) to see the current women on the U.S. Ski Team race live on Tuesday, March 17, at Theodore Wirth Park. There are currently four U.S. women in the Top 20 of the World Cup Sprint Standings this year, and the Sprint Finals in Minnesota will help determine who ends up on the season’s podium.
