Bib Numbers Assigned - AH135 Jackets

Tuesday, 17 December 2013 13:32 Last Updated on Sunday, 19 January 2014 16:40 Written by Administrator

Racers!  Bib numbers have been assigned.  Please go to the 2014 Results item of the Results menu.  Also note that many racers don't have their mode of propulsion assigned.  If you could send an e-mail via the Contact Us page, that would be great and I'll get your racer information updated.

So excited to offer an Arrowhead Ultra 135 jacket this year!! You can view and order your jacket from J2M Apparel HERE. You can only get these jackets until 1-22-14 so hurry!

2014 ARROWHEAD 135 COMIN AT YA

Monday, 15 April 2013 10:02 Last Updated on Sunday, 15 December 2013 16:30 Written by Dave Pramann

International Falls hit -30 Degrees F last night.  We hope you are prepared for this year's race.  Shown below is Carla from Brazil training on the trail this week.  We have had lots of snow and cold so the trail should be in great shape.  

The Arrowhead Ultra is included in "World's ULTIMATE Running Races" (Japanese version) which will be available soon on Amazon.

Make your list, and check it twice, and make sure you have all the mandatory gear for the race.  We do a very thorough gear check.


Looking for a way to punish yourself?  Apply elsewhere.  

As expected, the 2014 Arrowhead Ultra 135 roster filled in record time.  We are amazed at the talent of the applicants.  There will be a lot of competition on the trail this winter.  We are holding a few spots for elite race veterans (multiple finishes or top finishers) who are on the trail and have not sent in their applications yet.  The roster will be posted shortly.  

See you in a couple months.

2014 Arrowhead 135 race dates set for last week January. Check-in Jan 25/26, race start Monday Jan 27th, 2014 7AM International Falls, Minnesota. No major changes expected, just more good clean hard fun.

Applications for Arrowhead 135 veterans will be taken starting 9-1-13. Applications for new racers will be taken starting 10-1-13. We are expecting a full field of racers this year, please ensure you list your qualifications on your application as this may be a factor in determining the race roster.

The application download on the Race Registration page has been updated for 2014.

Please note that we will not be offering a free entry to the ITI for race winners this year.  This was done the past couple years to promote the ITI in Alaska, this promotion was a huge success with 16 AH135 racers participating in the ITI in 2013 (with 100% finish rate!!)

SPRINGS AROUND CORNER, Really.

Trophy plaques should get mailed next week, if not to you finishers by late March give us a jingle. Bunch of Arrowheaders showing great results at ITI 350 up north, congratulations to all, quite a year is an understatement! Good luck to you in all your off-season endeavors, hope to see you again in I-Falls.

Couple quick 2013 Arrowhead 135 Truth Stranger Than Fiction Items:

...warmest start temp in nine yr race history at ~25F. 

...largest starting field ever at exactly 135.

...first ever father/son finishers with Chris and Mark Scotch!

...two additional Arrowhead A'trois Finishers: Ken Krueger/Eric Dalgaard making total of 5 awards in race history.

...three out of last four years have seen long 3-man cycling breakaways leading up to final finish stretch. All three broke course record.

...second lowest finish rate in race history at ~35%. 2007 less than 25%.

...first year significant precipitation event. 8-10" heavy wet snow/sleet/ice pellets, areas biggest snowfall of season, mid-race. Not precisely forecasted, especially by race director: B.S. Meteorology UW-Madison 1979 Synoptic Specialty.

...unfortunately no women finishers. Many made noble/valient attempts.

Jackie's Corner

Thanks to all the racers, volunteers, sponsors and fans for a great 2022 race. Registration for 2023 will open 9-1-2022. Race dates will be Jan 30th to Feb 1st.
The registration link for Trackleaders can be found HERE. Spot trackers are optional. They are highly recommended for rookies, if you get lost easily, or if you want your friends/family to know how you are doing. Live tracking map can be found HERE.
Thank you all for registering for 2022 Arrowhead. All of the slots and waitlist were full within a couple hours after registration opened. We were not able to select all entries, If you were selected, you must confirm with ultrasignup that you are going to race (and get charged an entry fee). Check your e-mail or spam folder to see if you are missing a confirmation. I will be in the woods/mountains for a couple weeks so I may be slow to respond to messages. The roster will be published in late September or early October.
From our website race rules tab: We do not normally offer refunds of entry fees. If we have to cancel the race we will refund ~$150 of a racer’s entry fee. The balance will be used to cover fixed costs and donated to race charities.

 

The 18th annual AH135 will be Jan 31st to Feb 2nd, 27th, 2022. We will take applications starting 9-1-2021 9 am CST. Please make sure you have a qualifying race - see below. Our roster is limited to ~150 racers and fills quickly.

Gear check will be Jan 29th/30th. Please ensure you meet or exceed the qualifications listed below if you plan to race.

Completing one of the below accomplishments would typically qualify an entrant for this year's Arrowhead Winter Ultra;

however, entry is not guaranteed. The race directors reserve the right to change the rules in the interest of safety and sportsmanship or for any reason deemed appropriate by the race officials. The race directors reserve the right to select entrants based on other important considerations, as well as due to the requirements of insurers, sponsors, the Minnesota State DNR and other regulatory
agencies.
Basically, we look for both endurance and cold weather experience. Below are general guidelines - race veterans and volunteers get preference for entry.
Qualifying activities for runners:
Completing a prior Arrowhead 135, Tuscobia 160 or similar race.
Finishing 100 mile foot race or completed multi-sport event, including a 100 mile run. A race in winter conditions improves your odds of being selected and surviving.
Qualifying activities for bikers:
Complete a prior Arrowhead 135, Tuscobia 160, Susitna, or similar race.
Finishing 24 hour bike race, with minimum of 100 miles completed for off-road, or 200 miles on road. A race in winter conditions improves your odds of being selected and surviving.
Qualifying activities for skiers:
Complete a prior Arrowhead 135, Tuscobia 160, or similar race.
Finishing a 24 hour ski race with a minimum of 100 miles completed.

There are lots of articles, stories, and photo albums from racers, reporters, and volunteers. Go read them all.
