Highlights

  • A structured training week simulating conditions of the Yukon Arctic Ultra.
  • Covers pulk pulling, overnight bivouac in -30C, navigation, and cold injury management.
  • Set on the same trails or nearby terrain used by the actual race.
  • Experienced Yukon athletes guide participants through realistic scenarios.
  • Designed as a pre-qualification and confidence-building exercise.

Planning Steps

  1. Contact Yukon Arctic Ultra or affiliated cold-weather training providers.
  2. Travel to the Yukon (Whitehorse) for a simulation/training week.
  3. The simulation covers pulk handling, cold-weather camp setup, cold injury prevention.
  4. Bring or rent appropriate cold-weather equipment for training.
  5. Use the week to evaluate your readiness for the actual Yukon Arctic Ultra race.
Pro tip

Treat the simulation exactly like the real event. Do not cut corners on your bivouac routine — if your system fails in training, it will fail in the race.
