To compete in the Iditarod one of the world’s most challenging adventure races with sled dogs is hardcore, to run the the Iditarod Invitational (www.alaskaultrasport.com) the World’s longest human-powered winter race is EXTREMELY hardcore. Kami Semick one of the top ultra runners in the world at the 100k distance is going to take up the challenge and run the 350 mile course on foot, pulling a sled loaded with survival gear. Kami and her teammate Diane Van Deren members of the The North Face Endurance Team are taking on this challenge to benefit the St. Charles Rehabilitation Center.
From the Bend Weekly:
Kami is keeping an online blog about the experience (www.milesforamission.com), including her insights about the people she has met at the St. Charles Rehabilitation Center, and training efforts (like pulling truck tires through soft dirt). Once the race starts, she will report daily from the trail via satellite phone.
Good luck Kami!
