6633 Arctic Ultra - Canada

Yukon, Canada
Challenge: 120M, 380M crossing the Artic Circle
Disciplines: Ultra Trail
Price: from £3,050

As one of the most respected extreme ultra marathons, the 6633 Arctic Ultra is regarded by many as the toughest, coldest, windiest ultra distance footrace on the planet.

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 6633 route takes you through some of the most stunning territory on this planet..

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.
