EVERGLADES ULTRAS MARCH 9, 2019

The 2019 EVERGLADES ULTRAS:

What: Three distinct trail races of 50 miles and 50 kilometers (31 miles) and 25 kilometers (15.6 miles). The races are fully aid-station supported. Note: The Fakahatchee is a wilderness area and nature preserve. Many miles of trails are cleared in advance of race day. Overgrown portions of some trails are literally re-opened by hand just a few days before the race. Routes are subject to change from year-to-year due to weather-related park conditions.

Where: The entrance to Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park is located in Copeland, FL on State Route 29, fifteen miles south of Exit 80 on Interstate 75 (“Alligator Alley”), and 2.5 miles north of US 41 (“Tamiami Trail”). Everglades City is five miles south of the park entrance on Route 29. The Fakahatchee is approximately 1 1/2 hour’s drive from downtown Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

When: Saturday, March 9, 2019. The 50 mile race start is at 6:00am; cut-off is 8:30pm. The 50 kilometer race begins at 7:30am, with cut-off at 7:30pm. The 25 kilometer race begins at 9:00am with a 7:00pm finish cut-off time. A required orientation will be presented before each race at the starting line, with optional packet pick-up, orientation and park history with the Fakahatchee Manager on Friday at 5:00pm.

Support/Food: Fully stocked and staffed aid stations throughout the course. Park rangers on UTVs supporting the race throughout the venue. Burgers and beverages and more under the big tent at the race finish! Runner drop bags allowed at strategic locations.

BRAZIL 135 ULTRAMARATHON – JAN/17/2019    

The BR135 was inspired “in concept and in spirit” by the Badwater 135 in Death Valley, California. The event includes five races simultaneously, split into two solo runs with different cut-offs as well as relay categories for two, three or four people. The BR135 had its inaugural running in 2006 with 10 competitors and only four finishers. It remains a small race with entry limited to between 67 and 77 runners in the main 48-hour event and a further 74 across the other divisions. Finishing the solo event in under 48 hours is included in the qualifying standards for entry into Badwater because it’s part of the Badwater World Cup, an international series of 135-mile races held in exotic locations under extreme conditions. The other two are Badwater itself and the Arrowhead 135 in freezing Minnesota, also in January

The 15th annual Arrowhead 135 will be Jan 28th to 30th, 2019


The Arrowhead 135 is recognized in the book “The World’s Toughest Endurance Challenges” by Richard Hoad and Paul Moore as one of the 50 toughest races in the world. It is a human powered Ultra Marathon taking place in the coldest part of winter in the coldest city in the lower 48 states. Our average finish rate is less than 50%, the finish rate for new racers is much lower. 2014 finish rate was 35%.

135 miles Deep Winter across Northern Minnesota on rugged, scenic Arrowhead State Snowmobile Trail from Frostbite I-Falls to Tower, MN Fortune Bay Casino. Pick mode of transport at start: bicycle, ski or foot. This is our 14th year, beginning withƒ 10 entrants in 2005 to ~150 starters 2018, featuring some of the best winter ultra-athletes in the world.

Historically coldest gosh darn race anyplace even the Arctic, check average temps, virtually every year luck has us -30 to -40C/F, we have frostbite to prove it. Or it snows and is a sloppy mess! Arrowhead 135 is an organization of local folks dedicated to the promotion of human powered ultra-endurance events across beautiful Arrowhead Region of Northern Minnesota. Our Race Mission is fostering national and international amateur endurance sports such as winter-biking, skiing and trail running.

Goal of organization is to offer, fun, educational, yet challenging ultra-endurance event in extreme trail and weather conditions for economic and health benefit of communities in Northern Minnesota.

Race has costs for permits, insurance, T-shirts, awards, operational costs,etc. but we are hoping to minimize entry fees and break even. Any profits go to Special Operations Warrior Foundation Charity, providing college scholarships to children of US Spec Ops Soldiers killed and wounded, Together For Good providing short-term respite to children in need, and the Falls Food Shelf. We also contribute to snowmobile trail maintenance along the Arrowhead Trail.

THE 2019 Edition of the 6633 Arctic Ultra


The non-stop self-sufficient foot race is over a distance of either 120 miles or 380 miles, with both races crossing the line of the Arctic Circle.

The 120 mile race finishes at the First Nations Hamlet of Fort McPherson, whilst the longer 380 mile race continues to the banks of the Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk.
The race starts at Eagle Plains Hotel which is approximately 225 miles from the Dawson junction on the Klondike Highway. It is a solitary hotel and fuel stop and is the only oasis for a meal, bed and gas until you reach the First Nations Hamlet of Fort McPherson. You will receive a very warm welcome here from both the Owner and staff and you will hopefully also get a good night’s sleep the night before the start.

The start line is directly outside the hotel amid stunning scenery with the beautiful Richardson Mountains to your right.

0KM
On starting the race, you immediately descend gently through Arctic stunted forest for about 10km to the bridge at Eagle River. On crossing the bridge, the road bears right and ascends quite steeply at first and then less so for about 10km, whereupon the landscape becomes more exposed to the notorious winds, but if climatic conditions allow will afford you some of the most stunning scenery you will see anywhere in the World. At 20km the Dempster doubles as an emergency airstrip which is seldom used, but please be aware that aircraft DO occasionally use this facility. This hilly landscape from here continues until the first checkpoint at the Arctic Circle at 712m above sea level. Weather permitting, you will have the most awesome views of the most stunning, remote and inhospitable landscape our planet has to offer.

From the Arctic Circle, the route continues to rise and fall and is best described as undulating (although many veteran athletes of this event will suggest that mountainous is a more appropriate description). Approaching Glacier Creek it’s a little exposed with possible cross winds. It remains quite open past 50km with long open flat stretches.

This whole stretch is affectionately known as Hurricane Alley, and with good reason. The potential is there for EXTREMELY strong Katabatic winds. Lorries using the Dempster are regularly blown over and any human caught in these winds could quite literally be forced to crawl. When the winds are blowing (see video clip on the gallery page of a day when it was open and you will then appreciate the severity of what is being described), the road is usually closed to vehicles.

64.2KM
At 64.2km there is a significant and very noticeable “Big Dipper” in the trail which is sign posted as Sheep Creek. At 77km there is a Highways open shelter on your right which you are free to shelter in if necessary, but a little further on your left (300 metres) is Rock River Campground – for 2016 subject to the camp ground being ploughed we will have a staging post here where athletes can at the very least get minimal respite from the wind and cold. This is NOT an official checkpoint and therefore no water will be provided.

83KM
At 83km the route once again becomes exposed to possible severe winds and is a likely to be the toughest part of the race all the way through to the steep ascent to Wright Pass at 92km. At the top of the Pass is the border with the North West Territories and you are reminded to put your watches FORWARD one hour! The second checkpoint is approx 14km further on at the Highways Depot at James Creek.

120KM
On leaving James Creek, at 120km you will pass through a most stunning gorge where the frozen river is a beautiful ice blue. It really is fantastic to see, although in 2013 there was for the first time in this race a small section of overflow so be aware. The route then descends towards Midway Lake, where there is likely to be sections of spindrift across the route.

149KM
At 149km there is another emergency airstrip on the trail, although highly unlikely to be in use.

180KM
At about 160km you will catch the first sight of the McKenzie Delta below you and from this point onwards the trail descends to the Peel River ice crossing at 174km. This is another very pretty part of the route. On crossing the Ice Bridge, the route changes to relatively flat for the last 10km into Fort McPherson and the finish line of the 120 Miler or Checkpoint 4 if you are racing all the way to Tuktoyaktuk.

Fort McPherson is a small First Nation community and subject to confirmation we will be once again using the School Hall within the Hamlet.

On leaving Fort McPherson, the racers will now be racing on a brand new route to the finish line at Tuktoyaktuk. From this first nations hamlet, the athletes will proceed out onto a small private Ice Road that meanders its way for the next 100 miles (approx.) to Aklavik. This area of the Northwest Territories is very remote, but the proximity of the wooded banks along the route should provide some much appreciated protection from the winds. Roughly halfway along this section will be another checkpoint.

340KM
From Aklavik, the route will again continue with solid ice underfoot, albeit a wider and more exposed section of Ice Road. With this section of the race being approx. 75 miles, this will be a non-stop section all the way to Inuvik (to replicate the “popular” section to Swimming Point from previous years). Once arriving in Inuvik, the athletes will benefit from a comfortable checkpoint at Arctic Chalets where showers, warm rooms, beds and cooking facilities are available.

460KM
The final stretch of the race is approx. 100 miles long and will be from Inuvik to the finish line at Tuktoyaktuk over the newly opened (November 2017) overland permanent road. Similar to the first 120 miles of the race, this road is a hard packed “forest” type trail that winds its way through the myriad of lakes strewn over the McKenzie Delta. Where any tree cover exists, they will be stunted by the cold and will offer little protection from the winds that can affect the area. A midway checkpoint will be provided, albeit it will merely comprise a sheltered trailer for a short period of recovery before you blast your way to the finish line. It is the most remote, barren, yet stunningly beautiful place we have ever had the fortune to visit, it is purely magical, and will make the memories of this race ones which will stay with you all your lives.

Although you will be arriving in Tuktoyaktuk via a new route, the finish line will once again be on the banks of the Arctic Ocean.

The Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra 2019 will start on February 3rd


Race course
The Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra will follow the Yukon Quest trail, the trail of the world’s toughest Sled Dog Race.

The marathon finishes at Muktuk Adventures just off the Takhini River. The 100 mile racers will go from Whitehorse to Braeburn. The 300 mile racers will keep on going all the way to Pelly Farm. There they will leave the river to turn around and go back to Pelly Crossing on the farm road. The 430 mile participants go all the way to Dawson City.

The trail will be marked. However, if there is fresh snow or a lot of wind it will be difficult to find the trail. If you want to enhance your ability to understand your orientation, we recommend you use a GPS. You will find necessary co-ordinates and more information on the race course in the “Trail Description” (see “Service” section).

Start time, date and location
The Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra 2019 will start on February 3rd. The time for the start is 10:30 AM.

We will start at Shipyard’s Park in Whitehorse next to the Yukon river. A detailed description of the location is given at the race briefing.
