Register for the Arctic Warrior on Jan. 13
This event is one of very few winter obstacle events in the state of Wisconsin and is sure to be packed full of challenging fun. The 1K Little Warrior and 5K or 10K Arctic Warrior Snowshoe Race will wind around the shoreline of Little St. Germain Lake, through beautiful trails and alongside many of the Arctic Warrior adventure obstacles.
Races
The Arctic Warrior 5K or 10K Obstacle Course Race adventure will take place on Little St. Germain Lake and travel along the shoreline of the lake and through trails of towering pines. The race will challenge Warriors though variety of man-made and natural adventure obstacles including: the Arctic Barrel Roll, Snow Fence Crawl, Yeti Tire Flip, Waiter Warrior, Snow Soccer, Frozen Loot Toss, Stuck in Snow Tire Shuffle, Frozen Flake Wall Traverse, Dumpster Dive, Ice Hole Put, Snowy Tundra Tunnel Crawl, Bill Goat Hill Traverse, Tire Carry, Frozen Spool Crawl, Snow Mt. Climb, Frozen Switchback Climb, Fat Tire Arctic Bike Trek, the Discover Puzzle and the Crows Nest.
The 5K and 10K obstacle racers will follow the same course, however; the 5K racers will have two different "Fast Passes" courtesy of the Northwood Zip Line ARGO ATV vehicles. There will be a timing clock, but the event is not chip timed and placement awards will not be given, but all Arctic Warrior finishers will be awarded a finisher buff to celebrate the achievement of surviving the cold and conquering all fears.
Once all Arctic Warriors cross the finish line, let the celebration begin. All Warriors can be joined by families and friends to share experiences over a cup of hot soup and beverages (courtesy of St. Germain Sentry Foods and Wild Bear Grill & Pub) at base camp host site Wild Bear Grill & Pub at the Black Bear Lodge.
