Alaska Mtn Wilderness Classic
http://andrewskurka.com/adventures/a...rness-classic/
A friend of mine won this a few years back.
No support, no prize, no publicity, no fixed route. The location changes every few years, but typically 150-200 miles I think, generally in 3-4 days. There's a winter version as well some of my friends in college did. They say that one's easier, get on skis and go.
more wilderness classic stuff
huh, there's even a website now.

Most years the race doesn't even make the local news. Its about as wild and remote as a race could get, and as underground. I've only heard about it from friends. Pretty intense stuff.
Adventure/Obstacle Racing
I have run the Dirty Dash, Man vs Mud, Zombie Race, Spartan Beast, Tough Mudder, and World's Toughest Mudder. Obstacle racing is kind of my thing. I've always been a distance runner, but I have a lot of upper body strength as well. When I heard about obstacle racing, I knew it was for me. It can actually be harder on your knees however with all the jumping, and tromping through mud. I highly recommend this type of racing to anybody as it is a lot more fun than the monotony of your average race. Check out my blog for reports/descriptions on each of the races I've ran. http://canyonsadventurecraze.blogspot.com/
