The original race I was entered to do was the Rock and Ice Diamond Ultra. This however was cancelled and I managed to find something even tougher!
In March 2010
Nik Cook will be taking part in the
6633 Ultra www.6633ultra.com. 6633 is the latitude of the Arctic Circle that he’ll cross 26 miles into the race.
He’ll have
72 hours to cover 120 miles throughout which he will be battling against
temperatures as low as –40C,
90 mph+ winds,
mountain passes and having to
drag all his food and equipment behind him in a sledge.
