ARROWHEAD 135 WINTER ULTRA



The Arrowhead Winter Ultra is a non-profit human powered ultramarathon covering 135 miles across the Arrowhead Region of Northern Minnesota from International Falls near the Canadian border to Tower, MN. The course follows a scenic, hilly, state multipurpose trail under extreme winter conditions and has a 60 hour cutoff.

Completing the course is no small feat as winter temperatures in this area of Minnesota have been known to reach a record -60F degrees. Beside one midrace checkpoint, racers were entirely on their own. Each competitor must carry enough food, water and gear to cover 3 days and 2 nights outdoors. There were three classes: bike, run or ski. Not one of the ski entrants finished.

The award? Every entrant receives an Arrowhead tee, and every finisher a unique Arrowhead trophy. The most pitifully slow competitor earns the coveted Myrtle the Turtle award.
