What is the toughest race in the world?   According to The Nxorth, the Arrowhead 135 is a strong contender. With an average finish rate below 50%, Race Director Ken Krueger and his team have crafted an event that’s as grueling as it is rooted in old-school camaraderie and a close-knit, family-like community.

Finishers Bob Crowley and Terry Fletcher share their preparation strategies, gear tips, and experiences battling both the elements and their own limits. The discussion covers crucial topics like mental toughness, cold-weather clothing strategies, and dealing with physical challenges like blisters and trench foot. They also highlight the strong sense of community among racers and how enduring such harsh conditions fosters deep camaraderie. Listeners will gain insights into the race’s selective application process, its unique draw for returning participants, and how events like these promote personal growth and self-discovery.

    Thank you for the great podcasts. For EP 717: Ultimate Endurance Meets Community Spirit at Arrowhead 135 – I’m curious about the clothing that was worn to eliminate sweating it sounded like “Excess Skin” or “extra skin” – please could you let me know what is was called? Thank you very much. Bridget Robinson
