Kanoløpet Canoe Race

In 2008, Nordic Fest introduced an all new sporting event that takes you to the river - Kanoløpet! As it's name implies, it's a canoe race down the Upper Iowa River as teams of two compete to be crowned conquerors of the Kanoløpet. Race takes place Friday, 6:30 pm at River & Trail Outfitters.

If you're up for a more relaxing trip down the river then join the Parade. Grand prize will be awarded to the best decorated canoe.
