Registration is closed - we filled our roster in record time. See the race info tab for the current roster.
Registration for the 2020 Arrowhead Winter Ultra Race will be handled by UltraSignup. You can find the registration page HERE.
Race registration opens for ALL racers September 1, 2019, 06:00 CDT.
We limit our roster size in order to maintain solitude on the trail and to keep our check points from becoming over crowded. We cannot accept all entries. Preference is given to race veterans and past volunteers. ALL applications will be added to a wait list and reviewed. You will receive a confirmation from Ultrasignup if your application is accepted. If you don't get a confirmation in a short time please check your e-mail spam folder. You will not be billed until you confirm acceptance. We will keep a small wait list
You must have a qualifying race before applying. For bikers, we require at least a 200 mile road bike race or 100 mile off road race, preferably in winter. We require at least a 100 mile race for foot and ski competitors, preferably in winter. If you don't have a qualifying race but feel you have other experience that would allow you to safely complete Arrowhead, please list that on your application.
Pray for cold and snow - we look forward to seeing all the racers, sponsors, and volunteers.
General qualifying requirements listed on application. Keep in mind, this race is unlike any Ultra you likely encounter in lower 48. You can freeze your tail off if not careful and then we would feel very, very bad and the race likely would not happen next year and we would have to notify your next of kin.
Accepted Entries non-refundable (please don't ask). We limit the roster to maximize solitude on the trail, we cannot accept all applications. When the roster is full, it is full. We can't guarantee race veterans a spot if they apply late.
SEE YOU IN I-FALLS! AND HOPEFULLY AT FORTUNE BAY!!!

The 16th annual AH135 will be Jan 27th to 29th, 2020. We will take applications starting 9-1-19. 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 25th/26th. 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.
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.

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.
