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.

Qualifying activities for runners:
Completing a prior Arrowhead 135, Tuscobia 160 or similar race.
