Racers!  Bib numbers have been assigned.  Please go to the 2014 Results item of the Results menu.  Also note that many racers don't have their mode of propulsion assigned.  If you could send an e-mail via the Contact Us page, that would be great and I'll get your racer information updated.

So excited to offer an Arrowhead Ultra 135 jacket this year!! You can view and order your jacket from J2M Apparel HERE. You can only get these jackets until 1-22-14 so hurry!

International Falls hit -30 Degrees F last night.  We hope you are prepared for this year's race.  Shown below is Carla from Brazil training on the trail this week.  We have had lots of snow and cold so the trail should be in great shape.  

The Arrowhead Ultra is included in "World's ULTIMATE Running Races" (Japanese version) which will be available soon on Amazon.

Make your list, and check it twice, and make sure you have all the mandatory gear for the race.  We do a very thorough gear check.

Looking for a way to punish yourself?  Apply elsewhere.  

As expected, the 2014 Arrowhead Ultra 135 roster filled in record time.  We are amazed at the talent of the applicants.  There will be a lot of competition on the trail this winter.  We are holding a few spots for elite race veterans (multiple finishes or top finishers) who are on the trail and have not sent in their applications yet.  The roster will be posted shortly.  

See you in a couple months.

2014 Arrowhead 135 race dates set for last week January. Check-in Jan 25/26, race start Monday Jan 27th, 2014 7AM International Falls, Minnesota. No major changes expected, just more good clean hard fun.

Applications for Arrowhead 135 veterans will be taken starting 9-1-13. Applications for new racers will be taken starting 10-1-13. We are expecting a full field of racers this year, please ensure you list your qualifications on your application as this may be a factor in determining the race roster.

The application download on the Race Registration page has been updated for 2014.

Please note that we will not be offering a free entry to the ITI for race winners this year.  This was done the past couple years to promote the ITI in Alaska, this promotion was a huge success with 16 AH135 racers participating in the ITI in 2013 (with 100% finish rate!!)

Trophy plaques should get mailed next week, if not to you finishers by late March give us a jingle. Bunch of Arrowheaders showing great results at ITI 350 up north, congratulations to all, quite a year is an understatement! Good luck to you in all your off-season endeavors, hope to see you again in I-Falls.
