Racing 135 Miles in -24 Degree Temperatures


You’ve got to be tough - and possibly crazy to endure this race. The Arrowhead 135 in International Falls, Minnesota this week, requires competitors to travel by bike, foot or ski, 135 miles along snowmobile trails. This year’s race is particularly grueling with a temperature of -24 degrees at the starting line. Some participants tell the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, “the colder, the better.”
