Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am competing in the 7th Edition of the 6633 Ultra, http://www.6633ultra.com/ which takes place in the Canadian Arctic between the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. The race will start from Eagle Plains (Yukon) on March 20th 2015 passing through Fort McPherson (NWT) at 120 miles and continues to the finish line on the banks of the Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk (NWT) covering a total distance of 352.64 miles (not including detours!). Temperatures are likely to be between -30 and -50 degrees celsius and the extremely strong Katabatic winds can even force competitors to crawl.
With only 11 finishers in the 6 previous races, the 6633 Ultra has unquestionably established itself as the toughest, coldest, windiest ultra on the planet. The organisers say it is perfectly doable for those willing to prepare themselves physically (that's the easy bit), mentally (that's the bit that is often overlooked) and are willing to train, test and be at complete ease with all their relevant equipment and clothing.
