About the Event

Challenge the ultimate frontier of human endurance at the Iditarod Trail Invitational: February 22, 2026, the world's longest-running winter ultra-marathon starting from Knik Lake, Alaska. This legendary journey is not merely a race but a profound expedition into self-sufficiency, where participants on foot, skis, or bicycles brave up to 30 days of notoriously inhospitable conditions along the historic Iditarod Trail. Choose your measure of willpower with the gateway 150-mile route, the demanding 350-mile qualifier, or the pinnacle 1000-mile trek to the famed burled arch in Nome, each demanding immense resilience against the pristine and merciless Alaskan wilderness.

This event is a true test of extreme physical, environmental, and mental fortitude, offering minimal outside support in a landscape that is as mesmerizing as it is tormenting. Whether you're seeking an introduction to winter ultras or aiming for the most intrepid adventure on the planet, the ITI represents the purest journey of discovery about who you truly are. Apply now to secure your place among the few bold enough to answer the call of the frozen trail, where every step, pedal, or glide is a battle against the elements and within yourself.
