A mass start comprised of 119 cross-country skiers was the scene to begin the Porcupine Ski Runners' 31st-annual Loppet on Sunday.
The athletes had a choice of using the classic or skate technique on courses that spanned two, five, 10 and 20 kilometres.
While the annual races stir the competitive juices of many regional skiers, the primary goal is to create a large gathering. Once the participants cross the finish line, they're to congregate for lunch.
