St. Croix 40 Winter Ultra

The St. Croix 40 Winter Ultra is a winter survivalist race held in St. Croix State Park near Hinckley, MN. Participants cover roughly 40 miles through park terrain during a cold Minnesota night and must carry all essential survival gear for the course.

The event is offered in three formats that follow the same route distance. Competitors must complete two skill tests at separate points on the route to demonstrate use of their survival gear. The race is presented in the same spirit as Arrowhead 135 and Tuscobia 160 and is intended to give participants experience relevant to longer winter events.

Practical details noted by the organizer include the event location at 30065 St Croix Park Rd, Hinckley, MN, and that registration opens on August 15, 2026. All registrations are final and no refunds will be issued. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
