What is it?
The Yukon Arctic Ultra is THE most extreme endurance footrace in the world. Covering 515kms, that’s 12 ½ marathons, non-stop in six days enduring temperatures of -30C, whilst pulling a sled with essential survival gear. ONLY 47 people in the world have ever completed it despite many others numerous attempt.
Where & When is it?
The Northern Arctic tip of the Yukon Territory, Canada, along the infamous and brutal Yukon Trail during a very bleak Canadian winter, February 2009.
Why is it so tough?
515 reasons but here’s a few others. Frozen trails. Constantly -30C degrees. Fatigue. Sleep deprivation. Lack of food. Continually and relentlessly pushing the limits physically, emotionally and mentally for six days. This is why so few people have ever completed it.
