There is no designated path, there are no equipment requirements and there is no rescue crew. Participants must figure out how to safely travel to each checkpoint under their own power while hauling all of their survival gear with them. The decisions on where to go and what precautions to take in the extreme conditions are theirs alone – as are the consequences of those decisions. Often finding a partner to travel with makes some of the decisions easier to handle. It’s also nice to have someone to talk to. #itialaska #bikerunski #winterultra #toughestrace #alaska #itialaska2024 📷 anothermarksmith
