Running Beyond Limits: The Adventures of an Ultra Marathon Runner

Running Beyond Limits: The Adventures of an Ultra Marathon Runner



Andrew Murray has been running since 2005 when he realised that it might be a good way to see a bit of the world. Since then he has been placed first overall in races in the Arctic, the Sahara, Outer Mongolia and the jungle, amongst others. But in 2010 he devised a challenge that put all his previous attempts in the shade – to run from Scotland to the Sahara in one continuous push with no rest days! It is 2,659 miles from John O’Groats at the northern tip of mainland Britain to Merzouga in Morocco and Andrew planned to complete the distance in 85 days. That’s the equivalent of 100 marathons run end to end – and not a single day off to recover. With minimal support, and in the middle of winter, trying to run an ultra marathon every day was the challenge of a lifetime for Andrew. As a medic, Andrew knew exactly what that would do to his body…and it wasn’t good news. Attempting to cram in a staggering 8,000 calories every day is extremely difficult and doesn’t stop the body from beginning to break down. This book is the story of that run, interwoven between tales of extraordinary endurance events in some of the most extreme locations in the world. It answers the question, ‘why do it?’, and offers a gripping insight into what drives an extreme athlete to break new ground. Helped by family, friends, those he meets along the way, and a fiancee he’s shortly to marry, this is the story of one man’s determination to run in the history books. Andrew Murray’s epic journey was the subject of a highly successful BBC documentary and this book is the inside story of what pushes one man to keep breaking the limits. Even a planned 85 days wasn’t enough to satisfy Andrew – in the end he completed the distance in just 78 days. The book is introduced by Sir Ranulf Fiennes.

THE 2019 Edition of the 6633 Arctic Ultra

Deixar um comentário


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.

Minimalist’s Guide to Running an Ultramarathon: Finish Your Ultra by Training Smarter, Not Harder!


Why do so many runners who start an ultramarathon not finish? How can you give yourself the best chance of finishing a 50 or 100 mile race? Do you really need to run 50-100 mile weeks to finish an ultramarathon? The Minimalist’s Guide to Running an Ultramarathon answers these questions and gives you the blueprint you need to finish your ultramarathon. It dispels the myth that you need to run lots of miles to finish an ultramarathon. Understanding that every runner has different abilities and goals, this book does not provide a “one size fits all” training program. It gives you key principles and guidelines that will allow you to create the best training program that meets your needs. Regardless of whether you are a seasoned ultrarunner looking for more tools to improve your performance or are new to the sport and want to know the minimum amount of training needed to finish an ultramarathon, this book will give you the framework for the optimal training program. It follows the 80/20 principle and focuses on the most efficient training program to minimize your training time while providing maximum benefit. The optimal training program for running an ultramarathon includes much more than just running.

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).
