Beloit will welcome the kubb community back to Beloit for the 2025 Beloit Kubb Open on August 9 at Pohlman Field. Traditionally, the event has hosted 49 teams from seven states. All skill levels are invited to compete to win cash prizes where the payout has averaged almost $1,400 per tournament.
The event is owned and managed by Visit Beloit with assistance from event director, Dan Ivanuck. Organizers are excited to welcome players back to Beloit for the 11th year of kubb action and to showcase everything the community has to offer for visitors.
What Is Kubb?
Kubb (pronounced koob) is a lawn game where the objective is to knock over wooden blocks (kubbs) by throwing wooden batons (kastpinnar) at them. This lawn game can be described as a combination of bowling and horseshoes. The alleged Viking origin of the game has led some players and fans to nickname the game “Viking chess.”
