2nd Annual
Snø Racing Golf Classic
Monday, September 28, 2026Theodore Wirth Golf Course, Minneapolis
About the Event
Join us Monday, September 28, 2026, at Theodore Wirth Golf Course in Minneapolis for a day of golf, community, and fun, all in support of Snø Racing's athletes.
This year's event carries extra meaning: Theodore Wirth Park is home to The Loppet Foundation, a founding partner of our team, and where many of our athletes train year-round. It's also the site of the 2024 FIS Cross-Country World Cup, where American Gus Schumacher won the men's 10K, becoming the first American man to win a World Cup distance event in over 40 years, and Minnesota native Jessie Diggins placed third in the women's 10K, and there's no better place to tee off in support of the athletes carrying that legacy forward.
Grab your foursome, bring your best swing (or your worst, we've got mulligans), and help us send our team into another season of competing at the highest level.

Spots are limited. Grab your foursome or secure your individual entry before we sell out.

About the Team
Snø Racing was known as Team Birkie until June 2026. Same team, same athletes, new name.
Snø Racing is a Minneapolis-based professional cross-country ski team. At the 2026 SuperTour Finals in Craftsbury, Vermont, the team's top relay squad — Alayna Sonnesyn, Kevin Bolger, Zak Ketterson, and Luci Anderson — won the SuperTour Relay, beating a squad of four 2026 Olympians.
Racing as Team Birkie in March 2026, before our June rebrand to Snø Racing.
“Team Birkie's first relay squad won, upsetting APU's first squad by 46 seconds.”
“Alayna Sonnesyn, Kevin Bolger, Zak Ketterson, and Luci Anderson held off APU's four 2026 Olympians.”
“Team Birkie was ecstatic with their win. Their second team also came within 6 seconds of the podium.”
“Luci Anderson's leg put on a significant gap to the APU team that they would keep through the race.”
