2022 Arrowhead Ultra will occur Jan 31st to Feb 2nd. We look forward to seeing you this winter.
2021 Arrowhead Ultra 135 is canceled. We held Arrowhead in 2019 during the Polar Vortex when much of the country was shut down. We received tons of press world wide. One of the interviewers asked me if we would ever cancel the race. I said "I can't imagine a scenario in which we would ever cancel the race, the possible exception would be a massive snowstorm that would prevent emergency vehicles from accessing our check points". Along came Covid 19.
It is in the best interest of our racers, volunteers, sponsors, and community that we cancel the race. The current and extended MN Governor's orders (see below) also prevent us from holding the race.
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.

Train Hard - registration for Arrowhead 2022 (Jan 31st to Feb 2nd) will open 9-1-21.
Thank you all for your understanding.
The 17th annual AH135 will be Jan 25th to 27th, 2021. We will take applications starting 9-1-2020 8 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 23rd/24th. 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. |
