Here it is almost Autumn again and time to think of your most favorite Winter Event!  Of course we're talking Arrowhead 135.  In brief, changes for 2011 hope to be minimal.  1st Biker and 1st Runner will get guaranteed paid entry to the 2012 Alaska Classic Iditarod Trail Invitational.  When the skier competition gets up to speed we'll go with them too maybe!

I-Falls Holiday Inn is now an AmericanInn, but they include breakfast.  It would be great to see many of you folks back for another year, especially the friendly and hard-working volunteers that have made this race the great event in the past.  

As we get towards Winter we'll finalize hotel/motel info, cut-off times, pre-race meeting items and post them up.  We're on FaceBook under Arrowhead 135.

Hope to improve race-updates from the various checkpoints and finish-line so folks at home don't have to be quite so nervous!  Better airborne (Arrowhead Air Force!) and surface course surveillance should aid the safety factor but one thing you just never know about of course is the weather cause as you know its been really cold like 4 of the past 5 years.  Be prepared for -20F to -35F and we're not talking windchill.

See you in I-Falls
