St. Croix 40 Winter Ultra : January 9-10, 2027
The St. Croix 40 Winter Ultra is a short course winter survivalist race held in St. Croix State Park in Minnesota on January 9-10, 2027. Participants travel roughly 40 miles through park terrain during a cold night, using one of three modes: on foot, on skis, or by fat bike.
Racers must carry all essential survival gear for overnight winter conditions. The event includes two designated skill-test locations where participants must demonstrate the practical use of their survival equipment. The race is presented in the same spirit as other long-distance winter survival events, with emphasis on self-reliance and equipment skills rather than supported aid.
Information categories listed by the organizer include race details, required gear, race rules, frequently asked questions, race photos, and past results. The event calendar shows official results for previous years and notes the event as a winter endurance format geared toward testing winter navigation and survival skills in a park setting.
