For Toronto-area adventurers

Media Release / 25.04.2010

From Jessica Simon

Want to learn more about the Yukon Arctic Ultra? On 6 p.m. May 26 at Nicholas Hoare (45 Front Street) in Toronto and again May 31 at Ben McNally Books (366 Bay Street) I’ll be reading from “From Ice to Ashes” a thriller set on the course of the Yukon Arctic Ultra.

The premise?

Who would expect an ultra race would be used to launch a military attack? No one, until it happens.

I’ve been a mainstay volunteer since the inaugural Ultra in 2003, usually at Dog Grave Lake, a remote wall tent checkpoint, 40 miles off road. Those experiences feed this adventure, and give readers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the toughest ultras in the world.

I invite all Toronto-area adventure racers to attend and bring your questions about the Arctic Ultra, trail conditions, etc. for a short Q&A following the reading. For more information contact me at yukonwriter@lycos.com
