6633 Arctic Ultra - An Arctic Expedition Race Like No Other
The 6633 Arctic Series is an expedition race across some of the most remote, awe inspiring and unforgiving landscapes on Earth.
Over distances of 120+ miles or the full 380 mile route, competitors follow the historic Dempster Highway and frozen ice roads deep into the Canadian Arctic. You’ll cross from the Yukon into the Northwest Territories, traversing Hurricane Alley and Wrights Pass as you move through the surreal stillness of endless snowfields and Arctic sky.
This isn’t a schedule. It’s an Arctic adventure, one step at a time. Expedition includes accommodation and plane travel back to Whitehorse after the race finishes; 3 nights stay at Whitehorse, 1 night in Dawson city, 1 night Eagle Plains and 1 night at Inuvik.
The Journey
- Saturday 19th February | Arrive Whitehorse | The Gateway to your Adventure
The journey begins in the Yukon’s capital. Settle into Whitehorse, a frontier town steeped in Klondike Gold Rush history. Here, you’ll meet your fellow competitors, sort your gear, and start to feel the first ripple of what’s ahead. - Day 1 | Dawson City | Gold Rush Territory
We head north through historic trade routes and icy highways to Dawson City, a town where gold miners once gathered and where your own test of endurance begins. - Day 2 | Travel the Dempster Highway | Arrive at Eagle Plains
We hit the Dempster Highway which winds its way through through the Tombstone National Park and Tundra Plains towards the destination of Eagle Plains - your starting point. - Day 3 | Race Day | Step inside the Arctic Circle
As you awake to a wonderful sunrise, with temperatures in the -20sC, you'll get the first view of the route ahead of you. These will be your first steps within the Arctic circle. 40 miles later you'll reach check point 1 at Sheeps Creek. - Northwest Territories | James Creek
Welcome to the Northwest Territories. After punishing winds of Hurricane Alley and the climb over Wright Pass this checkpoint offers a well earned pause.
