Race Statistics
Final
Decision on race records 2005
After
a great deal of thought and consultation I have decided that the course
records are the fastest times from start to finish. We can not compare
the times of a start to finish race with those of a race with a mandatory
overnight. The men's bike record to McGrath set by John Stamstad in 1998 of 3 days
8 hrs 15 min including a mandatory overnight is a superhuman achievement
and remains the record for the old race format. Mike Curiak's record of 15 days 1 hr and 15 min to Nome stands as the over all course record. This applies also to Chloe
Lanthier- Brandner's female bike record of 4 days 23 hrs 50 min. All of
us who were on the trail when these records were set can appreciate the
efforts of these athletes during their record setting rides. Since we
have no plans to include a mandatory overnight in our race format these
records are set in stone as they deserve to be. Kathi Merchant's time of 5 days 7 hours 48 minutes is the new Alaska Ultra
Sport female bike record. Steve Reifenstuhl broke the men's foot record
with a time of 4 days 15 hours. Gail Koepf set the female ski record and
won the ski division with her time of 7 days 6 hours 18 minutes.

I
hope my decision seems fair to all concerned.
