General Information

WELCOME TO THE 2ND ANNUAL 6633 EXTREME ULTRA

THE RACE BEGINS ON MARCH 12, 2010 IN CANADA

Race Structure

The 6633 ultra is a non stop self sufficient race over a distance of either 120 miles or 350 miles. Both races cross the line of the Arctic Circle, with the longer race continuing to the banks of the Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk. For 2008 only runners will be eligible to enter although keep your eyes open for an announcement about the 2009 race where hopefully the logisitics will allow for an awesome bike option.

Competitors will be expected to carry or pull on sleds all their provisions for the race including food, cooking items, clothing, sleeping kit and other safety gear. Racers going all the way to Tuktoyaktuk will be allowed 2 drop bags for limited essential gear at approx 120 miles (Fort McPherson) and 230 miles (Inuvik). All racers will be allowed to have a bag at the finish line for spare warm clothing etc.

Checkpoints will be spaced along the route at between 26 and 60 miles apart, where racers will be able to rest awhile and be able to prepare their own food. Hot water and shelter are the only things guaranteed at the checkpoints.

The race is once again being organised by Martin Like together with significant help from a multitude of individuals from the UK and more importantly in Canada. Martin has raced in “Arctic” conditions on a number of occasions and it is this experience that he will be bringing to the 6633 Ultra to make it the most testing, rewarding and memorable race that any self respecting ultra racer will ever do.
