2025 Feisty Rooster Loppet and Fat Bike Race

Date: February 22, 2025

We are excited to host the 4th Feisty Rooster event on the beautiful trails at Adam Lake in Turtle Mountain Provincial Park. It's a great opportunity to bring together the XC Ski and Fat Bike communities and showcase the great trails of TMPP.

The 'Feisty Rooster' gets it's name from a rooster that was found at the Adam Lake trails years ago. 'Adam' the rooster was as a feisty one and we felt worthy of having an event named after!

Technique for the cross-country ski loppet is classic.
