The
Yukon Arctic Ultra follows the 300 mile Yukon Quest trail, the trail of the world's toughest Sled Dog Race. The trail is marked. However, if there is fresh snow or a lot of wind it is difficult to find the marked trail. The mode of human-powered transportation (foot, cross-country ski or mountain bike) must be kept for the entire distance, making it the
world's coldest and toughest human-powered ultra marathon.And the Europeans took the top three honors in the 2005 event!1st Stefano Miglietti, Italy 6 days 2 hours 35 minutes (146 h 35 min)
