We expect to make improvements to the start of the race and will announce new motel rates and venue/start changes in International Falls shortly.

The City of International Falls is kindly looking to provide more assistance to the 2010 event and we will keep you posted as the details become finalized.

Thank you to all the Arrowhead volunteers. We sincerely appreciate your contributions and we look forward to your participation again this year.
