About the Event

Test your winter survivalist mettle at the St. Croix 40 Winter Ultra, a formidable 40-mile overnight challenge through Minnesota's frozen wilderness on January 10-11, 2026. Modeled in the spirit of iconic races like Arrowhead and Tuscobia, this event demands complete self-sufficiency as participants travel by foot, ski, or fat bike across St. Croix State Park, carrying all mandatory survival gear. More than a race against distance, it incorporates mandatory gear skill tests to prove your preparedness for the harsh realities of winter ultra racing, making it a crucial proving ground for aspiring adventurers.

Starting January 10th, this event is a pure, unmediated winter expedition where success hinges on resilience, knowledge, and the right equipment as much as physical endurance. It’s the perfect, intense introduction to the world of winter ultras, offering a condensed yet authentic taste of the isolation, cold, and profound satisfaction that defines the most extreme cold-weather challenges.
